WiiWare Launches in Australia

May 20, 2008 in News comments 3

First launching in Japan, North America and Europe, WiiWare finally reaches Australia. Along with it's release, it brings 6 new downloadable games including, Lost Winds, Star Soldier R, Dr Mario & Germ Buster, Toki Tori Take 2, TV Show King and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King.

Australians did not have to wait long after their overseas cousins for Nintendo's WiiWare service, with the first downloadable games available on the Wii Shop Channel from today.

Whereas Nintendo's Virtual Console service allows consumers to download classic games from systems like the SNES, N64 and Megadrive, WiiWare offers brand new titles and is an opportunity for video game developers to create innovative new games.

    Well, at least they don't have to wait 3 whole months for this to come out.

    Suppose that is good, not that I'm bothering with it (yet). Good to see Nintendo cares about us 'slightly'.

    Well it's nice to see we have finally caught up with everyone else. We always seem to be last on the list for everything. Atleast we got it is what i'll say.
