Nintendo in promoting their download service shocker

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/new ... 12259.html

7th April 2009 – Today, Nintendo of Europe is showcasing a variety of new and exciting WiiWare & Nintendo DSiWare games from both Nintendo & third party developers, which will be available to download through the Wii Shop Channel & Nintendo DSi Shop in the coming months.

Laurent Fischer, Managing Director of Marketing & PR of Nintendo of Europe comments:
”We are pleased by how far WiiWare has come since its launch last year. Currently there are approximately 58 WiiWare games available in Europe, packed with exciting content available to download through the Wii Shop Channel. This just goes to demonstrate the breadth of creativity that Wii users now have access to. We are particularly pleased that WiiWare has enabled developers to make games on our platform which they may not have had a chance to do otherwise. Now that Nintendo DSiWare has launched across Europe we hope that the same principles of WiiWare will follow suit on the new handheld console, allowing a greater and diverse range of software and applications to be made available for users on the go.”

Also worth noting that in the change to calling them Nintendo points they seem to be upping the price to £9.99 for 1000.

Not happened on the Wii store yet, but its probably just a matter of time.

This had better not mean £5 NES games

No BitTrip...

Good to see Swords and Soldiers before the end of July.

I was thinking of stocking up on points on my Wii, but I'm not sure how many I'll use.

Is there a limit on the number of points you can store on your account? I think I read that the maximum on the DS was 10000.

Really? I might have to stock up.

I believe it's the same on the Wii Oxx.
