WiiLoaded.com - Wii Forum and News

To be honest, when I first heard of WiiWare, I wasn't that impressed. I found the likes of Sony's new exclusive "Echochrome" to be far more interesting. Further to that, the few WiiWare titles announced were hardly anything special.

But today at Nintendo's Tokyo Conference, the tables were turned, and they're staying that way. The one that clearly stands out above them all is "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Little King and the Promised Land", which is essentially a country-building game, with its own story, based slightly after the original Crystal Chronicles game for Gamecube. This will cost 1500 Wii points ($15 / €15), and seems like a bargain for what we appear to be getting. Does this mean Square Enix is taking Wii seriously?

Hudson Soft, a dedicated Wii supporter since the start has already layed down its arms for WiiWare, announcing titles such as Bomberman, Star Soldier R, and Joysound, a karaoke game would you believe!

Namco Bandai has forwarded a game called Mojipittan, a Japanese word-puzzle game. This is sure to get our prefrontal cortex booming, or so Dr. Kawashima might say!

And last, but definitely not least, Nintendo. The father of WiiWare has announced some big titles for its offspring. Remember when the ESRB has registered a little game called "Dr. Mario"? Well it turns out it's getting released in software download form, lining up alongside games like Pokémon Farm, Puzzloop for Everyone, and Maruboushikaku. All of Nintendo's titles appear to incorporate the Mii system in some way or another.

WiiWare just became big indeed!

I read on IGN that the Dr. Mario game will be online. that FTMW.

Wow!

Itsss Wii-great

Ooo, finally, some good news!

The glass remains firmly half-empty for Kasaioni

Looks like it isn't going to be straight ports on WiiWare. Some of those games look pretty cool, particularly the CC game.

SWEET!!

My girlfriend's even excited for this one--she wants Dr. Mario like WHOA

What I'd like to know is the average graphics capacity for each of these games. I mean, since we are so limited for storage on Wii, how could should the graphics inevitably be to be spacious yet good?

All this can mean only one thing: There is a Wii HDD in the works. I mean seriously, watch that new FFCC trailer for the WiiWare game. There is very little chance that would fit on the 512mg drive. And if it does, it'll leave room for VERY little.

Wow this basically confirms a hard drive. Unless Nintendo decide to make SD cards easy to use.

But I would like a hard drive instead.

OMG! new games to download soon!

yay!
