WiiWare Japanese launch info round-up

The day you've been waiting for is here -- if you're a Japanese Wii owner with a hankering for downloadable games, that is. Yes, Nintendo's game download service WiiWare has finally launched in Japan and, with the help of our friends over at Wii Fanboy, we've rounded up a bunch of information on the roll out from around the web, including:

• Video of the download process (which is rather slow on Nintendo's currently overwhelmed servers).

• A description of the shopping process from SiliconEra.

• Impressions of a few launch games (including one that actually sounds fun) over at Wired's Game|Life.

• Screenshots galore from Famitsu.

• Videos galore, gathered by Wii Fanboy from NintendoWorldReport.

We're also following news about the service's implementation of downloadable content, which has shown up in three games so far. Look for more on that in a bit.
