WiiWare zal een nieuw kanaal worden, vergelijkbaar met de Virtual Console, alleen nu met nieuwe games speciaal voor de Wii.
De website Cubed³ had een interview met Nintendo UK over het WiiWare kanaal. Een stuk hieruit lees je hieronder.
quote:
Cubed³: What sort of games can we expect to see on WiiWare? And when will be get our first taste of what will be on offer?
Nintendo UK: Developers will only be limited by their imagination as to what types and styles of games could potentially appear using this system. Wii Software will be the easiest and most accessible way for developers, large and small, to create new games and reach consumers. Even small developers can create completely new games from scratch, armed only with big ideas, not big budgets. We may discover the next great game and game creator. One game can make a difference and consumers get to try fresh content at a low cost. Nintendo’s open approach, combined with the remarkable motion controls of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, will give birth to fresh takes on established genres, as well as original ideas that currently exist only in developers’ minds.
C3: How much is the basic cost to developers if they want to make WiiWare title?
NUK: We are not disclosing this information publicly – Wii Software levels the playing field for both small independent developers and the bigger developers and publishers. Wii Software paves the way for smaller, more creative games to make their way to the public at lower prices, without any inventory risk to developers.
C3: Nibris has already stated its interest in WiiWare, but in general has Nintendo had a lot of interest from independent or even individual developers wishing to do WiiWare titles?
NUK: Developers were only told about Wii Software on June 26 at the Nintendo Developers Conference. We will be sharing more information about Wii Software content in the future.
