As Nintendo gets set to release the Wii U, the original Wii is getting a new app that lets you watch something called "YouTube" on your television screen. I wonder if this thing will have any funny videos of cats engaging in hilarious hijinks?

Today, word came down from the official YouTube blog that Nintendo is adding a YouTube portal to the Wii's fronted interface. You'll be able sort by category and also subscribe to various YouTube channels. Here's the link to the app on the official Nintendo site. Now go watch some old rap videos and video bloggers talking about the Twilight movies.
