WiiWare is here*!

*If “Japan” counts as “here”, that is.

Yep, I switched on my Japanese Wii this morning, accessed the shop channel, and lo and behold, nine new titles were there to greet me. That launch list in full - and each title’s cost in Wii Points - then:

  • Angel’s Solitaire - 500 points 
  • Dr. Mario & Bacteria Extermination - 1000 points
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King - 1500 points
  • Lonpos - 1000 points
  • Mojipittan Wii - 1000 points
  • Okiraku Ping Pong Wii - 500 points
  • Pokemon Ranch Channel - 1000 points
  • Saku Saku Animal Panic - 1000 points
  • Star Soldier R - 800 points

I’ve downloaded four games so far, and will be bringing you early impressions of at least two of them - Star Soldier R and Dr. Mario - later today. As far as file sizes go, it seems as if (predictably) Square-Enix has dibs on the largest portion of your Wii’s memory, with Crystal Chronicles taking up 287 blocks, and Dr. Mario hogging a measly 86. Either way, that fridge is going to get very full awfully quickly. Come on, Nintendo - let’s have some kind of storage solution, and soon.
