Link245	1. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 01:07 BST Hello, what do you guys think about WiiWare? There were some problems, like the file size limit. I also don't think it could've have stood up to popular downloadable services like Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network. What do you guys think? Edited on Tue 16th August, 2011 @ 01:08 by Link245

Link245	3. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 01:11 BST Yes, there were some good titles, but they seemed to be overlooked. Multiplatform titles were generally downloaded on other platforms. Also, I think App Store was another problem.

TheBaconator	4. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 01:12 BST In my opinion, yes. Especially since most of the best games (In My Opinion) on the service were ported to other systems, Steam, or Apple products, and most of the time, were improved.

Link245	5. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 01:13 BST I don't think DSiWare did too well either, but people may give it another look thanks to eShop.

Link79	9. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 01:23 BST The amount of Wiiware games I bought that I actually wasn't dissapointed with are very few. Same goes for Dsiware. Most games just don't feel like a full fledged experience. More of a morsel compared to the store bought games. Just proves a download only future will ruin videogames as we know them.

Link245	10. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 01:24 BST The file size limit is a big thing, as some multiplatform titles couldn't get on the service. Downloadable content is also a big thing, which Nintendo is working on.

Link79	12. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 01:27 BST @ SuperOtaku I have most of the Wiiware games you mentioned and they are my favorites. A large majority of the rest I wish I could give back.

SMW	19. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 02:25 BST WiiWare had its share of good titles; especially from Hudson. I got a total of 4 games from Hudson, and a few from other devs. The WiiWare titles that I enjoyed were: Cue Sports: Pool Revolution, Dart Rage, DRiiFT Mania, Excitebike: World Rally, Frobot, Onslaught, Snowboard Riot, WarioWare: DIY Showcase, and Water Warfare.

accc	20. Posted: Tue 16th Aug 2011 02:46 BST Wiiware is a great service with a ton of great games, but Nintendo needs to figure out a way to get people to actually pay attention to the good stuff that gets released instead of automatically assuming every game is trash. Same with DSiWare.
