WiiWare's currently better than all the other downloadable services out there, and we're looking forward to it's second year. Here's what's to come...
They have previews for LostWinds 2, Icarian, Future Nintendo games, Cave Story and Pop Up Pirate, plus their best WiiWare games of 2008.
The Animal Crossing franchise may lean towards casual gaming, but it has laid the foundation for a future title to have a survival mode.

A look into the sad trajectory of indie games from high successful releases to complete irrelevancy in just a few weeks or months.
That's the thing with gaming there's always new experiences to have why spend months or years playing a single game when there's a new experience right around the corner.
Indie or AAA if your building your game expecting long term player counts you'll probably be disappointed as gamers often enjoy something for a few weeks and move on only to return if it's truely a classic.
Out of all the generations I've experienced there's games from 30 plus years ago I still dust off and play like super Mario bros, earthbound, vice city and san Andreas being games I treasure and revisit every few years but I'm not going back to play a game designed to keep me engaged for months on end because it's also designed to milk my wallet in most cases.
Build a great game that people love make it playable offline and ask does it matter if the concurrent player count is under 100 a year post launch more often that not it doesn't
The price of entry is too high to take chances like I used to. Was looking at V Rising and that ranges from $50-$130 CAD. That’s a lot for an indie imo. By the time it goes on sale, the player count might be dwindling. But that’s the trade-off, I guess.
i dont like wiiware i really dont i fined it too slow and not much that i want is there unlike psn.. and sadly XBLA

Stopped reading.
Don't disagree that there are some quality titles on Wiiware. Best downloadable game service is questionable.
didn't know about Lost Wind 2 that's pretty cool but can anyone open the link? I just get a blank page

PS3 had many GT5P, Warhawk, Wipeout, Siren + many others
WiiWare had LostWinds and World of Goo.
Wrong. So wrong.
