WiiWare hits the UK!

For those of you who didn't already know, WiiWare is another addition to the Wii's shop channel service.

It delivers free games and demos, as well as ones that you have to pay for.

To view the new service, simply click on the Shop channel, and then on to the WiiWare button, which is positioned at in the center of the screen.



You will then be guided to a screen which is similar to the Virtual Console one.



Have fun!

Re: WiiWare hits the UK!

I'm guessing the same titles that were released in the US were released there too? If so, this is my view on them:

FFCC: My Life as a King: Haven't played it much yet, but seems pretty fun from what I did play.

Defend your Castle: Fun at first, but flinging your arm repeatedly to throw the little stick figures up to die gets old fast. Multiplayer is fun though, and it does really start to get difficult.

LostWinds: Probably my favorite so far. I've heard it was really short, but even if it is, it's really fun. Like IGN said in there review "It's better than most $50 Wii games".

I haven't tried Pop or any of the other new WiiWare games that came out yesterday.

Re: WiiWare hits the UK!

Finaly been released, I checked this morning. Now its only the everybodys nintendo channel next week :D

Anyway I see nintendo have snuck in 'Pay to Play' wifi games :( Its only on FF:MLAAK but publishers will probally start to use that move on there own games. Heres to hoping they don't!

Anyway i am going to wait until my copy of brawl arrives next month until i pay for these games as i dont even have the money for brawl yet :D

6:30 am - Tjharwin wakes up
6:35 am - Tjharwin has breakfast
6:40 am - Tjharwin turns on his Wii to play Mario Kart Wii, but remembers the launch of Wii Ware. So he goes onto the Wii Ware channel and...
6:50 am - TJHARWIN HAS DOWNLOADED DR MARIO!

It's a great game. I played it before school this morning because exams are stressing and I needed to chill.

With WiiWare don't expect to be released in all regions.
Some won't be out here or there.

Like Toki Tori will probaly not come out in America.
As we can't play Defend The Castle.
