NINTENDO LAUNCHES WiiWARE:

AN OPEN PLAYGROUND FOR CREATIVITY
Downloadable Game Service Delivers Developers’ New Ideas Directly to Consumers


REDMOND, Wash., May 12, 2008 – Nintendo’s Wii™ console has already changed the way people play games. Now its new WiiWare™ service decisively tears down limitations for how developers create games – and the way people receive them.

Starting today, Wii owners with an Internet connection can download new, creative games from a wide range of developers, from large publishers to indie shops. By reducing the barriers that make console game development prohibitively expensive, WiiWare showcases original ideas in the most democratic environment in industry history, connecting the people who make games more directly with the people who play them.

WiiWare frees developers from the traditional constraints of video game development. WiiWare lets developers experiment with big ideas and small budgets to the benefit of players everywhere. Newer, smaller teams now have an outlet for their creative ideas. The constantly growing WiiWare library will have a regular flow of unique video gaming experiences consumers might not otherwise have access to.

“WiiWare is to the video game industry what independent films are to Hollywood,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “WiiWare lets developers experiment with new ideas and experiences. Combined with our collection of classic Virtual Console games, Wii provides one-stop shopping for the greatest games of the past – and the future.”

WiiWare games are easy to download. Just go to the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel, find the game you want, redeem Wii Points™ and start the download. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. New games, at various Wii Point values, will be added to WiiWare on Mondays. The newly launched Nintendo Channel on Wii will let people view videos of and read information about WiiWare games and other Nintendo products. Users also can see player opinions to help them decide what to play next.

Today, the inaugural lineup of WiiWare games is just a taste of things to come:

FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: My Life as a King™ (Square Enix, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, 1,500 Wii Points): FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a King takes a legendary franchise and launches it into the realm of simulation gaming.

umm FFCC isn't multiplayer on this one. Tower Defense games are always single player and out of the two games that she mentioned only one is FF. I wasn't trying to knock off FFCC or the Tower Defense games. I was just stating that My Life as a King is a Sim game and that you can get any other Tower Defense game for free.
 
Defend Your Castle has four player online co-op. And I'm getting it, too. It's well worth $5.

No I do accept it. I just forgot that there are some Tower Defense games with multiplayer and that I skimmed over the multiplayer aspect of the Wii one. I am just stating that I have made a mistake and I apologize for it. I am sure people are buying it and that it probably is good.

but they don't look or are as fun as this one. also i was refering to DYC when i said the multiplayer however even though is like a SIMCITY game and is very deep for it's genre.

really? you don't sound very happy if the first thing you did was complain about both games
 
Im getting Pop. I want to get a game this week, so it will be my choice.

I was contemplating Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, but I was thinking that since I do have Sim City 3000 Unlimited, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and countless other sim games, would I really want to spend 15 dollars on a Kingdom Building Sim, I think not as I can have tons of fun with tons more buildings on my other games that I already have.

I want the TV game as well but I dont have that many people to play it with, and finally, the Defend your castle game, isnt there several free versions online.


I want to say, do you think we will see Bejeweled come to Wii ware?
 
I've got Defend Your Castle and a friend is getting me LostWinds. Defend Your Castle is extremely fun, I'm currently on round 37 with 16000 HP and 120+ people in every tower.
