Wii U will launch with a YouTube app built into the system, but don't fret if you're sticking with Nintendo's original motion controlling console. Google has launched a dedicated YouTube app for the SD Wii.

Go to the Wii Shop Channel to download the free app. Although you can still use the Internet Browser to access YouTube, the app will offer a lot more functionality, such as the ability to log into your YouTube account, watch your subscriptions, and see official music videos.

      What is this "free"? I'm confused. According to Microsoft, I should be required to buy a subscription to my console's online service before I'm allowed to do trivial things like use a web browser or use apps that let me watch videos.

        i like xbox live, but this is the #1 reason I'm not signing on with whatever their next console is. I already pay for netflix assholes. I shouldn't have to pay for a gold subscription to use it on my xbox.
