The Wii U gets a YouTube app to bolster Nintendo’s living room ambitions

The Wii U isn’t all about fun and games. It’s also about videos about fun and games … and much more of course.

YouTube announced this morning that its app is now available on the Nintendo Wii U. This is obviously a big deal for Nintendo, which is trying to own the living room entertainment experience, as the app is not just available for free download — it’s featured right on the Wii U’s main menu.
