WiiWare: Nintendo's upcoming WiiWare changes the way both developers
create and consumers access video games. Through WiiWare, Nintendo hopes to
offer developers a virtual laboratory that serves as a breeding ground for new
games, which encourages great ideas that creators always wanted to develop.
The combination of low development barriers and unique game experiences found
only on Wii should enable developers to try new ideas with lower risk in a
quicker, more creative and affordable way.
Meanwhile Wii owners can download a multitude of cool new games from
different genres, including some that are unprecedented, which can be
purchased from home at a dynamic price range. WiiWare also empowers consumers
to determine with their Wii Points which games have the right stuff to become
the next big thing.
WiiWare will be a repository for all types of experiences -- literally,
something for everyone. Early WiiWare games will come from celebrated
developers like Square Enix, which is creating FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL
CHRONICLES: My Life as a King, a simulation game for all ages. Also watch for
games from up-and-coming developers like Frontier with its fresh, enchanting
platform adventure LostWinds and a new episodic game series from Telltale. The
first U.S. WiiWare games will be available on May 12.
