Nintendo has previously said that they keep their eye on industry trends, and always consider uses for future tech including streaming and cloud computing. Now it seems they are making a big move towards that goal.
While we know Sony is partnering with Microsoft, it has now come out that so does Nintendo. Specifically Nintendo plans to work with Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing service to stream some sort of content in specific regions. What that content will be, or why it would only launch in certain areas is not yet known.
But also Nintendo itself is looking also to work with MSFT (Azure) to offer its own streaming service in limited regions (JP, US etc).
