Details for Europe's WiiWare service explained

Posted Jun 27, 2007 at 7:28PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Wii Tags: Europe, Laurent Fischer, Reggie Fils-Aime, Wii Points

With Nintendo's WiiWare plans for North America now being fully disclosed, it does leave one wondering what the big "N" will have in store for Wii console owners living in Europe. Wonder not, Wii owners, as a recent developer's conference in the region divulges the company's got planned for WiiWare's Europe release.

Much like its US kin, WiiWare (aka Wii Software) is expected to launch this early 2008, and will allow registered console owners to purchase games on the Wii channel with their Wii points, much like they do for the Virtual console.

Similar to Reggie Fils-Aime's statement in WiiWare stateside, Nintendo's European marketing director Laurent Fischer pointed out that the new service would be beneficial for developers on relatively tight budgets. He said, "Wii Software provides developers with big ideas - rather than big budgets - an easy and very accessible way to create new games and bring them to the marketplace."

That's all for the moment, although investing in a good SD card might be advisable this time around...
