Nintendo: WiiWare is a great opportunity

Outspoken Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has stated that his company’s WiiWare and DSiWare digital content platforms are a great opportunity for all developers – from the big to the small.
“We’ve shown that the opportunity is quite significant,” Reggie told Venturebeat. “For the NoA territories, 90 per cent of the content is from third parties. Also, in the NoA territories, 18 of the top 20 titles in sales volume have been third party titles. We think it’s a fantastic platform for highly innovative, small development companies to bring their content to the marketplace.
And following news at GDC that an upcoming Wii firmware update will allow gamers to play titles direct from an SD card, Reggie is confident that the Wii will become an established indie publishing platform.

“We’re sensitive that Wii storage has prevented some developers from really embracing the idea. We showcased a solution for that at GDC. Based on everyone I have talked to, speaking right to developers at technical conference, there is huge excitement not just for WiiWare but for DSiWare too.”
