Indie Games for Wii

Posted in News at 3:06 pm by Jordi Fita

Apparently Nintendo, in early 2008, will open a new service called WiiWare. From what I understood this new service will give a way for independent game developers to develop and distribute games for the Wii like the Xbox-360’s Live Arcade does.

According to the announcement this service “[...]provides game creators a simple method by which they can get their games to the public. This approach, combined with the remarkable motion controls of the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™, will give birth to fresh takes on established genres, as well as original ideas that currently exist only in developers’ minds.” So I guess the reverse engineered drivers will not be the only way to play with the WiiMote ;-)
