WiiWare Week Round-Up
I’ve been really enjoying the Developer Magazine WiiWare Round-Up articles this past week. Some terrific inside tidbits on the WiiWare channel, the games coming out for it, the developer’s thoughts and even comparisons to XBox Live Arcade and the Playstation Store.
I’ve been extremely excited about the WiiWare channel since it was announced last year. I think it will be a terrific outlet for original IP games that could really invigorate the stale gaming industry (in my opinion). With such a large user base of Wii’s in the US and world; this kind of channel will be an excellent outlet for a lot of indie development houses to get their games on the mass market. I expect that we will some some incredible games come out come May 12 and onward. Of course I also expect we will see some really sorry games as well. That’s par for the course with something like this. I do hope that those companies coming out with shoddy games won’t have much success, no matter how cheap the games are!
One of my favorite sites that is now covering WiiWare gaming news is VC-Reviews.com. They have done some exclusive interviews with some of the developers that are working on WiiWare games. So go check them out.
Now if only May would get here faster…
