No-VC Tuesday: WiiWare shuts old games out
WiiWarelaunched today in Japan, as you've no doubt heard. Great for WiiWare ... not so great for the Virtual Console. Nintendo decided that the launch of the new service for original games would be a good time for the VC to take the week off.
We're hoping that today's total lack of VC content was intended only to draw attention to the inaugural WiiWare offerings. In other words, there had better be some VC games every week from now on. We won't be pleased if the Virtual Console and WiiWare have to compete for the same release schedules. We're afraid that in the future, on any week a couple of WiiWare games come out, no VC games will.
The cynical retrogamer in us is already thinking of WiiWare as just another excuse to skimp on VC games. We'd love to be wrong.
