Nintendo Confirms Original Downloads for the Wii

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 26, 2007 @07:44AM from the not-just-mario dept.

The Computer and Videogames site touched base with Nintendo in the wake of an interview with a game company in Game Informer magazine, to check up on their plans for original content on the Wii. A marketing director from Hudson Entertainment stated in GI that the Wii would feature a new games channel for downloadable games, and CVG wanted to follow up on the claim. Nintendo's response was that while they haven't decided on the specific method by which they'll be offering the games online, downloadable original content is definitely in the cards for the console's future. No timeframe was given for this content, but it is reassuring to have this piece of the Wii puzzle reaffirmed by the company.

News/weather channels? 480p is all you get!

Yeah, because I really need HD to get my weather forcast. "Damnit, I can't tell if that Partly Cloudy icon is a cumulus or stratus cloud!"

Is there something personally wrong with me if I don't get excited about Zelda: Link to the Past?

Yes.
