Nintendo Confirms Original Downloads for the Wii
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.
I never thought Nintendo would deliver anything special with their online stuff for the Wii, but it is looking more and more that they simply don't give a shit about online. So far Wii online has been glitchy system updates and downloading overpriced old games.
There are a hell of a lot of Nintendo fans out here who are all saying "Ok, I completed Zelda, now what?"
