Not to mention all the other systems, too. It's a shame that some good games get overshadowed by games like Call of Duty and Battlefield. While those games can be good, nobody goes to try new things or try different things like Rayman Origins, which is one of the best, if not the best, platformer available on 360/PS3.
WiiWare was a huge disappointment to me. I only have 4 WiiWare games, specifically because nothing on there even remotely interested me. The only other things that I would want to buy I bought on XBLA, such as Sonic 4 and the Mega Mans.
The pricing is bad, the marketing is bad, and a lot of things are done wrong. Super Meat Boy can't get on WiiWare because of that awful 40MB rule, and the fact that many Wii owners don't even know the service exists is terrible, to say the least.
I hope Nintendo does a serious overhaul for 3DSWare and WiiUWare (If that will exist.)

Re: Feature: The State of WiiWare
