WiiWare Channel Launching May 12th

WiiWare, the new downloadable games service for the Wii, will be hitting U.S. consoles on May 12th. It’s been rumored that WiiWare will break away from the Wii Shop Channel… where it currently resides and get it’s own “block” on the consoles Wii Menu



Wii.Kombo talks about some of the upcoming game titles for the WiiWare channel…

Some confirmed titles in development for WiiWare include Dr. Mario & Bacteria Extermination, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land, Bomberman (no downloadable service is complete without it), and a Pokemon-centric channel.

With the release of WiiWare on the 12th and Wii fit on the 19th... May is shaping up to be a busy month for the console.

I never really understood what WII Ware was. I know it's been very looked forward to though.

So it's downloadable games via the WII. But do the games cost?

so far, there are only a few things in wii ware, such as Check Mii Out, everybody vote, etc. so far, all the channels in wii ware are free, but when the new wii ware software comes out, im not sure they have announced prices for them yet. you get wii ware by downloading it via the wii shop channel

Opera is not free on it. It's 500 points. And I'm looking forward to Lost Winds. Finally a developer (other than Nintendo and the guys who make Ratchet and Clank) decides to make a platformer, I was beginning to think they were obsolete by now or something.
