Nintendo Weekend Warrior – the digital push begins now

For the longest time, Nintendo has not paid much attention to their digital distribution fronts. Game developers who put games on the online stores have expressed their disappointment with the company seeing as how their games are not getting much attention. The casual gaming market seems to have little interest in the downloadables, or perhaps it’s only becaue they don’t even know they’re there. All that is about to change, because Nintendo is starting their campaign for WiiWare and DSiWare.
