Normally, we don’t know exact dates for WiiWare titles. Instead, we wake up on Monday oblivious to the treats (or horrors) awaiting us. This Monday, however, we know for a fact that Zallag’s Racers’ Islands: Crazy Racers will appear on the Nintendo Shop Channel for 1,000 Wii Points. Artefacts Studios’ racer, which debuted in Europe September 10th, lets up to eight players compete on a single television. How does that work? Read on for that answer and more.

European publisher Zallag, the same company behind the upcoming Gods vs. Humans, is set to launch its first WiiWare title in Europe next week with the release of Racers' Island: Crazy Racers.
VGChartz writes: "Just-founded game publisher Zallag is doing its best to push the game industry into the future, and that future (they're sure!) lies in downloadable content."
Never heard of them before, but looks pretty cool. Have to see how these turn out.
While I completely love the French and indie devs, and WiiWare in particular, I disagree that DLC is "the future," considering half of console owners don't even know how to connect their consoles to the internet.
I actually think more than half are connected. Not sure of the exact numbers, but EA Sports of all people had numbers on it.
I really don't like DLC, or digital distribution in general rather.
Every time I buy a game of PSN for instance, I feel a bit of buyers remorse because I simply don't feel like I own it and I know in 20 years I won't be able to add it to my collection.
Sorry, guys. Digital distribution may be convenient -- but I'll take a hard copy over that any day.
Eh, looks okay.
