Well…That was annoying. Site was down for a half hour or so. It wasn’t a problem with us directly…It was actually our host that was having issues (surprise!). Everything’s fine though – nothing was lost, and I’m not expecting any more trouble again. Apologies for the short downtime!

Gameloft has been a heavy supporter of WiiWare and I expect that they will give similar support to DSiWare.
