The Nintendo Wii will soon be able to download and stream Netflix movies and Tv programs to it’s users.  The new service will go live this spring, and will available to Netflix users with a regular membership and broadband connection.

Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings in a statement said “Our goal is to offer Netflix members as many ways as possible to watch movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix right to their living room TV and to give non-members more and compelling reasons to consider the service,  joining forces with Nintendo, is a very meaningful step in that direction.”

Netflix has similar arrangements with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3. Similar to PS3, Wii’s instant streaming service will be disc-based. Netflix’s site has details on how to reserve a disc.
