Nintendo not too interested in WiiWare?
July 25th, 2008 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii
In a video interview with MTV, Reggie Fils-Aime provided a remark regarding Nintendo’s involvement in WiiWare. “When we developed WiiWare our focus, as we discussed, was on smaller developers, brand new content, different types of content. Will we put out the occasional first-party WiiWare? Absolutely. But it’s predominantly meant to be much more exploratory, experimental and for these brand new third-party developers.” Basically, it seems as though Nintendo is stepping aside to let smaller third-party developers step in. The stance of the company makes sense, but how many games will we end up playing? So far, there have been three WiiWare titles partially developed by Nintendo, although none of them have been handled by an internal development team.

This is good news. Wii-ware should be a way to spotlight smaller companies teams.
