More WiiWare info revealed

More WiiWare info revealed - Image 1For those of us excited about the Nintendo Wii’s exclusive, garage developer-friendly Wii channel, WiiWare, here’s some info that should clear up the veil of mystery that the Big N’s thrown over this piece of indie gaming heaven.

Most obvious and important questions include what sort of titles we’ll be expecting during the first few months, and how much Wii Points will it set us back to get our fix. So, the details:

  • The first titles will be focusing on puzzle and educational genres
  • Nintendo will help to publish titles for small developers
  • Pricing is expected to be under $10, but nothing official has been announced
  • Future WiiWare titles will cross various genres, as well as game projects

Not a very long list of details, to be sure, but definitely meaty and full of info. And while we’ll be playing with puzzle and educational games right at the beginning, it certainly helps that Nintendo will be there to publish titles for the small guys, the unsung heroes that have all these great game ideas but unfortunately lack the capital to do so.

It’s also good to find out that in the future, WiiWare games will take the form of full-blown games rather than mere mini games or distractions. With WiiWare, Nintendo looks to change the landscape of this industry completely, and frankly, it’s been a long time coming.
