HBO Go app all but confirmed for Wii U (and maybe other Nintendo systems)
Awhile back, we saw some very strong hints that the Wii or Wii U would be getting a dedicated YouTube app. While we're still waiting to see what happens on that front, we have a near confirmation that the Wii U is going to see an HBO Go app in its lifetime.
The following comes from a Time Warner job listing...
“The Partner Manager position is responsible for the day-to-day relationship and ongoing marketing activities with several key Mobile, Tablet, Connected TV and Game Console digital partners for HBO GO and MAX GO. Partners include Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Samsung, Roku, as well as any new partners that will launch HBO/MAX GO in the future.”
I don't think you can get anymore clear than that. We know that HBO Go is heading to a Nintendo system. You would think that Wii U is the clear choice for this, but we can't say that for sure. It may end up going to Wii or 3DS. Let's get really overzealous and hope for all 3!
