Wii U YouTube Update Supports TV Playlists and Pairing

The latest update to the YouTube app on Wii U allows for multiple new features. One we knew about was the ability to watch videos on your Gamepad. Another includes browsing videos on the Gamepad while one plays on the TV. I also just found out you can now sync your YouTube account with your Wii U and allow TV playlists and pairing. Have a video, or set of videos you want to watch on your TV, you can send them right to your Wii U via PC, tablet, or smart phone. You’ll just need to click the activation buttons on the app, head to the proper websites (YouTube.com/activate and YouTube.com/pair), input your given codes, and you are all set.

Here is some proof from a video I sent over from my iPad to my Wii U.

[PS3, X360] Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII demo footage surfaces on YouTube

[PS3, X360] Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII demo footage surfaces on YouTube

YouTube user Dante14181 has uploaded footage from Square Enix's next big release, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, directly to YouTube.

The footage is in Japanese, as a result neither the text or audio is in English, and is shot off-screen, that being said the video offers a decent look at the game in action and contains no background noise. So, if you are curious to see how the newest Final Fantasy game is shaping up it is worth checking out.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is set to be released next February for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Thanks AGB.

YouTube seeking developers for 'console-based TV experience'

by Andrew Yoon on Feb 17th 2011 5:40PM

Google is, apparently, a wonderful place to work, but its products have rarely afforded video game developers an opportunity to work for the company. Well, until now.

YouTube is seeking to build a "next generation game-console-based TV experience with YouTube video content," and is seeking programmers with "deep technical knowledge of Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and/or Nintendo Wii." Given the everyday stories of layoffs in our industry, there will be no dearth of qualified applicants.

Google currently offers a functional, but not particularly optimized, experience for Wii and PS3 via the consoles' internet browsers called YouTube XL (pictured above). Think you can make something better than this?
