Remember to log on to your Wii today and check out the new section of the Nintendo Store online, WiiWare.
If you haven't heard of it, WiiWare is going to be a source of independent games to download (for a fee, of course). It also will have a handful of not-so-independent games, like the new "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King" game that is included in the first crop of WiiWare games available.
It will be interesting to see if this idea, as well as the idea Xbox has with their XNA games pans out. It seems to me that if these games are popular enough -- and enough game developers get behind this idea -- it would help spur on the next era in gaming, the era of strictly downloadable games and unspecific consoles. Granted, that idea is decades away from full realization, but this would be the first step. Much like the plot in Terminator 2.
