In case you’ve been wanting some more information about Nintendo’s WiiWare, Aussie-Nintendo.com has dug up some additional information. It looks like it is expected to arrive in early 2008 and games will not be required to be stored on your Wii.
And finally, on the controversial subject of storage, Walter explained, “A lot of the games for WiiWare that have been submitted so far are smaller in size, so they’re not gonna take up a ton of your drive. But the way that we look at it is, we really don’t want people storing every single game they buy on their drive. When you buy a game, it’s yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want. In a way, we liken it to putting music on your iPod; you listen to it for a while, and then you get tired of it, and you pull it off, and you put some new stuff on.”
I’m not sure I would liken it to an iPod, but I see the comparison they are making.
