Anywho, silly introductory paragraphs aside, we're tackling the subject of WiiWare in our latest Point/Counterpoint feature. It's kind of like those ridiculous political shows you see on Fox News, where two people scream at each other for 20 minutes. Except, with us, it's about games and you have to read it. Also, we're a bit more level-headed.
Oh, and there's the usual free game up for grabs. This week, it's two free games!

WiiWare has been great so far.
I have Toki Tori, Gyrostarr, Defend your Castle, LostWinds, Final Fantasy, and maybe tonight I will buy Dr. Mario.

I would LOVE to comment on Wiiware, but my Wii is having storage issues and I will NOT delete any of my current VC games.
As soon as I get more space I want to buy LostWinds.

I want more original games (ala LostWinds) rather than ports of old games.

What do I think about Wiiware? It's piece of crap
Obie @ Jun 25th 2008 8:15PM
Hmm, I see. Would you care to elaborate on your eloquent conclusion?

Love the wii, but wiiware seems to me like $5 glorified flash games. I've bought 2 and I might get the pokemon one for my gf, but beyond that I think I'm done with it.

It's the same as Xbox Live. Most of the good stuff will come from Nintendo again. the only difference is Microsoft doesn't have Nintendo's chops for making games so XBL relies on third parties for the good stuff.
