WiiWare launches today

Starting today, gamers will be able to download original new game titles from their Wiis via Nintendo’s new WiiWare service.  Unlike the Virtual Console, which allows players to download retro game titles, WiiWare gives developers a means to explore new ideas with relatively low risk and pass on those ideas in the form of games which, not surprisingly, are relatively inexpensive when compared to games purchased at retail stores (game prices for the WiiWare launch titles range from $5 to $15). The launch titles are:

-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (1,500 Wii Points)

-LostWinds (1,000 Wii Points)

-Defend your Castle (500 Wii Points)

-Pop (700 Wii Points)

-V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack (700 Wii Points)

-TV Show King (1,000 Wii Points)
