Posted by: Jonathan M, 05:24 AEST, Wed May 14, 2008

Today Nintendo launched its own marketplace for downloadable original games called "WiiWare"

WiiWare is to the video game industry what independent films are to Hollywood. WiiWare lets people experiment with new ideas and experiences and combine them with the collection of classic Virtual Console games that are already out there.

Wii owners that have their Wii connected to the internet will be able to download these new games priced between 500 to 1500 Wii Points ($5 to $15). Six WiiWare titles are presently available for download all of which are 1000 points or under.
