Looks absolutely beautiful. I think WiiWare could be a massive hit. Given the rapidly swelling install base of the Wii, the low cost of development, the hands-off approach taken by Nintendo, and the ability to sell quirky ideas for game control, WiiWare could end up producing some of the best games on the platform.

Now if only they'd give us something to store them on!!!

Agreed on all accounts! WiiWare can be a good take-off platform for smaller developers and give people overall ability to be more creative when there isn't as much risk and need for big budgets.

An H/D would be brilliant, one of the very few things I think the Wii lacks.

The game olooks pretty damn good for a downloadable, should be interesting to try out!
