Why Mega Man 9 on Wiiware is a bigger deal than you think
It could be the extra Nintendo gene I was born with talking, but this morning I can’t help but think that the Mega Man 9 WiiWare news is much bigger than it initially appears. Sure, this is a major coup for Nintendo’s infantile WiiWare service, and it’s incredible news for anyone who grew up playing Mega Man on the NES (or other, *cough* CD-ROM systems in the 1990s), but there...
Nintendo throttling Virtual Console to make way for WiiWare
At the micro level, it would appear as though Nintendo is gimping its Virtual Console releases as of late. From December 2007 onward, the steady stream of three titles a week has slowed to a trickle, to the point where some weeks have seen just one release or, more recently, nothing at all. Enter Gamasutra and its bar graphs, however, and a new, more optimistic picture begins to take shape’if you ...
Developers in the dark for Wii Ware, VC launches
I have to admit, I do enjoy the element of surprise that greets me every Monday morning. What will David post for the VC update? What WiiWare games are going to drain my bank account this week?

Hudson: Control Tetris with your feet using Wii Balance Board
From Siliconera this morning comes word that Hudson’s upcoming online Tetris title could have a very interesting new feature. Will Tetris for WiiWare have any new features other than Mii support or online play? Maybe drag and drop play like Dr. Mario & Virus Busters? It features a number of new rules and items. Currently, we’re tossing around the idea of using the Balance Board. Th...
Which WiiWare games should everyone buy?
As I’m sure you’ve heard, WiiWare launched in North America today with six games. The only one, and I do mean only, that I wouldn’t spend money on is VIP Blackjack. I’ve already purchased and played both My Life as a King and Lost Winds (impressions coming soon, but they are both beautifully looking and sounding games), and am already eying TV Show King, Defend Your Castle,...
