WiiWare launching in March, according to developer

Nintendo has kept awfully quiet about their upcoming WiiWare service, but third-party developer Engine Software seems to have no problem going on record with the launch date. According to Engine, the service is scheduled to launch this March, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

Engine Software, who acquired a Wii Developer's License this past October, is currently working on a casual title for release on WiiWare. Entitled Project Bang, the game uses the Wii remote functionality and features one or two-player gameplay. It's a bit bizarre to have a developer so flippantly reveal the launch date of a platform, so we'll wait for word from Nintendo before calling this thing official.
