Amazon.com has released its paid streaming video service on Nintendo's new Wii U console, with a host of titles free to users who subscribe to its Amazon Prime service.
The Internet giant said Wednesday it has launched an app for the Wii U that will offer 140,000 titles for rent or purchase, of which 30,000 will be available free to Amazon Prime subscribers. The company offers the service on the three latest game consoles: the Wii U, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3.
