The State of WiiWare, Xbox Alternatives

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday October 19, 2008 @05:13PM from the one-of-the-lesser-known-states dept.

CVG is running a piece discussing the current state of WiiWare, and where they expect it to go in the future. They point to the success of Mega Man 9 on WiiWare and other platforms, but worry that the perception will arise that certain games are "too good" to be featured on WiiWare. GameSetWatch has a related interview with independent developer Ninjabee discussing their recent games and comparing WiiWare with Xbox Live Arcade. Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced that the new Xbox Experience coming in November will included their Community Games initiative, which will allow amateur game developers to create and share games using the XNA development tools.

No, I mean like games anyone in their right mind would want to play.
Seriously, I got to play one of the Pixeljunk games, and God damn, I can't see why anyone would want to.
The point remains that all the best stuff is on the Wii and the Xbox 360 anyway.
