Netflix big possibility on DS

Imagine being able to stream films straight to your Nintendo DS. According to NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime, it could soon be reality.

In a recent interview with Kotaku, Fils-Aime discussed the possibility of the Netflix service coming to the Nintendo handheld.

With the service on its way to the Wii this spring, Netflix has been polling its users on whether they'd like to see videos streaming from their DS and DSis. Fils-Aime said that it was technically possible.

"We've already shown an ability to transmit content from the Wii to your DS," he said. "We do it with (Nintendo of Japan's video on demand ) Wii No Ma service. We can transfer game demos from the Wii to the DS too, so the technology is absolutely possible."

On the topic of whether or not Nintendo would be willing to discuss the idea, Fils-Aime said the company was keeping an open mind.

"From my perspective anything that drives connectivity is good for our business," he said. "Anything that has the consumer interact with their Nintendo device daily, hourly is good for our business. So it's certainly something that's interesting."

He was, however, quick to point out that there has been no real business conversation regarding the service on DS between the two companies.
