Officials from Nintendo have confirmed plans to release original downloadable content on the Wii, with an announcement today at a private Nintendo developer conference. The company describes WiiWare as a “game-creation service” that will allow developers of all sizes to create downloadable games content for sale by Nintendo through the Wii Shop Channel. Currently over one hundred retro tiles are available for download via the Wii’s virtual console, with games paid for via redeemable Wii Points. Other content has so far been restricted to new interactive channels, all of which have been free (although the Internet Channel – featuring a re-purposed Opera Web browser - will incur a charge of 500 Wii Points ($5) from the beginning of July).

which means everythign will still have to be authorized by Nitnendo and the DevKit will probably be sold only to game studios to sell retro titles, and possibly to companies makign small games and cell phone games and such to launch "arcade" titles, such as gameloft and the like.
doubt it very much
omfg... lol

Anyways, those devkits are a bit cheap ($2000) but they don't give automatic rights to sell your games over the wiistore.
She sells WiiWare by the WiiStore!

OK I wasn't going to say anything but since you want to keep trying to crack jokes, I'll tell you how you messed up.
You tried taking the tongue twister:
"She sells sea shells by the sea shore"
And made your own:
"She sells WiiWare by the WiiStore!"
The two "W" words just took the whole tongue twister aspect and threw it out the window and also took any kind of joke you were trying to make and ruined it. Stop while you're ahead
We get it, you don't like the Nintendo Wii. There's no reason to keep trolling and commenting about how you don't like the name "WiiWare".

Also, what are retro tiles? I haven't seen any retro tiles available at the Virtual Console store.
