This year Nintendo is going to launch their own downloadable game platform called 'WiiWare'. Here are a 10 reasons (According to the Planet Wii blogspot) why it's going to be worth the wait and will help maintain Nintendo's market dominance.

Nintendo are superb at making epic games; the recent Zelda and Mario games on the Wii are evidence of this. But what Nintendo are also great at is introducing new play mechanics upon which to base new games. Examples of this are the vacuum in Luigi's Mansion and Fludd in Mario Sunshine. The problem comes that sometimes these mechanics aren't quite deep enough to warrant an entire epic game, but would really shine in a smaller experience that WiiWare could deliver. If ever there was developer that can take advantage of a platform with low risk, it is Nintendo.

    All very good points. I'm really looking forward to the release of WiiWare, especially with the FF titles. I really like the 'One game per month per publisher' rule as well. Should be a good means of quality control.
