Wii prepares to conquer downloadable content market in Oz
NINTENDO'S answer to Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare, has launched in Australia and Europe today with an impressive line-up of downloadable games exclusive to the Nintendo Wii.
Games to launch with the service, available through the Wii Shop Channel, are:
-Lost Winds
-Star Soldier R
-Dr Mario and Germ Buster
-Toki Tori Take 2
-TV Show King
- Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
Personally, I'm looking forward to taking my old-school Dr Mario skills online in the Wii Ware version, against players from around the world.
Gamer Herald's only concern is that with Virtual Console and WiiWare releases ramping up, how will Nintendo gamers be able to store so much downloadable content on just 512MB of internal memory?
Hopefully Nintendo has an answer soon.
Dr Mario, while not a truly new concept like other WiiWare games, has been remade with online play for Nintendo's new downloadable content service.

i love the plug in SD card function, great for the photo app, the only thing is you can't do much with them!

You actually have to copy th game to the Wii in order to play it. SD card is only a method of backup.
That's why I am a little worried about all of the downloading. I, and I'm sure you too, do not want to be fiddling around with copying games to and from, and making space for games on the Wii just to play them!
