TOKYO (Reuters) - The Nintendo Wii just got a photogenic makeover.

Technology

Nintendo said on Wednesday that it would offer new online photo services together with Fujifilm Holdings Corp, enabling users to upload and print photos via the Internet.

Game players can now compile photo albums of their snapshots and even order business cards that display their favorite Mario Cart character or Mii, the user's Wii alias.
