    New Downloadable content channel announced!

    WiiWare will be what its called and unfortunately it will be released sometime next year according to GoNintendo.com.

    So what do you guys think? 2008 seems really late to be introducing this. I was hoping by the end of this year or something. And it looks like were gonna need that HDD attachment now, Nintendo...or at least 3rd party HDD support.
    DSi (Black) + DS Lite (Crimson/Black) + PSP-1000 + Wii w/52'' Samsung LCD HDTV
    PC: E6600 @ 2.4GHz + Intel DP965LT + 4.5GB RAM + XFX 8800GT (OC'd) + 1.07TB Total storage + 21inch Widescreen + Microsoft Wireless 6000 desktop

    Wasn't that the place we downloaded the Opera web browser and the Everybody Votes channel?

    IMHO, no big deal.

    The size of the games will be capped like xbox live content (originally 50mb, now 150mb). HDD might not be necessary, they might just stick with flash memory.

    Games to be available when it goes live. Arent Impossible Mission and Geometery Wars using this method of distribution?

    We'll see what happens. I'm MUCH more interested in DS Download station capabilities on the Wii than custom Wii content. Maybe that will come first.

    WiiWare!

    SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 27, 2007 - The search for the next ingeniously ground-breaking video game has begun. At a private developers conference this week, Nintendo announced the introduction of WiiWare, a game-creation service that will allow developers large and small to create new downloadable video game content for sale by Nintendo through the Wii Shop Channel of the hot Wii home video game system. WiiWare paves the way for smaller, more creative games to make their way to the public at lower prices, without any inventory risk to developers. The first WiiWare content will launch in early 2008.
    This is straight from Nintendo's webiste. It looks like their finally branching to the public.
