Title: The Wii is looking for original downloadable content...
Post by: gojira on Wed 27/06/2007 14:45:33
Nintendo is offering tools to help indie developers make games that wii owners can download via the internets.
All the point and click (typing isn't so bad either) would be a good fit.

This could be a great way for some of your work to get a really wide audience!
I don't know how complicated this must be, or if they demand your soul in exchange...

Nintendo isn't offering a lot of hand-holding on this route.

The biggest problem is that they wont give dev kits to individuals and the price they ask for them is a tad out reach for many independant developers. I think they're trying to attract franchises and adverts thinly disguised as video games.

Sad, because the Wii's features could prove useful to a lot of indie gamers.
