Thousands of episodes of anime shows are headed to Nintendo’s Wii U home console. Starting today, Wii U owners with a broadband Internet connection can access the Crunchyroll application, a leading global destination and platform for anime, manga and Asian dramas.
Now Wii U owners have access to more than 25,000 episodes and 15,000 hours of hit licensed content, including the most popular current and classic shows like Naruto Shippuden, One Piece, Sword Art Online and Hunter x Hunter. It’s a great match for Wii U, which continues to offer a wide variety of video game and entertainment options, from games like Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Mario Kart 8 as well as on-demand movies and TV shows through various premium streaming services.
To access Crunchyroll, Wii U owners can download the free application in the Nintendo eShop, which will allow premium Crunchyroll members to begin watching immediately. Crunchyroll premium members have access to the newest episodes of currently airing shows as soon as one hour after they air in Japan, all ad-free. Wii U owners who aren’t yet Crunchyroll members can sign up for a 14-day free trial of premium membership via the application or at the Crunchyroll site.
Hentai?
Fegit?
Loser?
One day all these teenagers will mature and cringe when they realize how pathetic they are for using these terms
Yes I’m gay why?
Nintendo Impact Gaming?
Lolz
Yes oh my god yes!!!! This is truly the best christmas gift!
What about Crackle, it’s free? All the other systems have it.
That’s awesome, but can they at least update Netflix so it can have profiles?
Downloaded the app, but couldn’t make it work.
how so? Do you have a premium account to CR? Are you able to log in?
Yay! :) They finally honored our wishes for this service. I wanna give this a spin.
A Propane Christmas is my favorite anime.
mine too
Not surprised to found out it’s only America that got this – again.
At least Europe doesn’t have any Crunchyroll app in the E-shop.
Just use kissanime through the wii u browser here http://kissanime.com
click on one Of the green links were It says: Mobile / Download (Save link as…): 1920×1080.mp4 – 1280×720.mp4 – 640×360.mp4 – 320×180.3gp.
to Watch the video You want on your gamepad
gampad and tv
I want to support the anime industry and make use of my crunchyroll account while watching, but thanks for the advice anyway.
Yes, encourage people to use illegal websites and not support the industry just because ”derp, it’s free”. Way to go.
Got excited, checked the e-shop. Then realized this is America only like always and was annoyed. Europe always gets the short stick with Crunchyroll apps =/
I recommend
Dog & Scissors
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki.
Fate/Zero
Parasyte
AND Psycho-Pass
I think only Funimation has the license to that one.
I am still hoping for Twitch on the Wii U.
We are a lone party of two on this one :/
better late than never, guess the realize how many people want crunchyroll on wii u, i do and im going to download it and as for twitch, lets hope nintendo realizes that twitch is like youtube and wii u gets twitch.
Finally, now I can keep my ps3 in the living room, since I don’t have to keep it in my room just for cruncyroll.
Go to http://www.animebaka.tv for your anime fix. Works on tv and Wii U gamepad.
most video is 720p or 1080p
Well this is a pleasant surprise i do want to keep up
It’s cool I guess. I liked to watch Crunchyroll, but then they stuck 3 15-30 second ads in my face every 5 min.
That’s why I used to always torrent my anime when I was into that crap.
I dare you to watch Mushi-Shi and come away from it feeling like you wasted your time.
Wow this is one of the best news I received today! Up to today I was saying I can’t wait until I can use Crunchyroll on my Wii U (I know they were aware of the demand). This is great opportunity to renew my account after their Roku app disaster.
Well, it was high-time invested in Crunchyroll anyway. This is great news!
Is Crunchyroll mainly subs or dubs? Or caters to both?
hello
cheap Runescape stuff
