Download service proving popular with developers
Nintendo's upcoming Wii Software service, known as Wii Ware in Japan and North America, is already proving popular with developers, according to company president Satoru Iwata.
"We've already received proposals for over 100 titles from software development companies," Iwata said during a press conference this week, according to a Kyoto Shimbun report translated by IGN.
"We've made a platform for developing software at low cost, and would like to offer a new business chance based around a battle of ideas," he added.
The Wii Ware service is set to offer users new downloadable games designed specifically for the home format, and can be purchased via the Wii Shop
Titles so far announced for Wii Software include Dr. Mario, Pokemon Ranch Channel, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Bomberman.

DVD Talk Limited Edition
Did anyone else get all the Wii updates last night? I updated the Wii to version 3.1, (which allows USB keyboard connectivity and some other stuff I didn't check on yet), the Everybody Votes channel had an update and the Browser channel had an update. Hopefully the keyboard can be used in the browser now.

Am I the only one getting good, long use (thats what she said) out of my Wiimote batteries? I've read articles saying that everyone needs a battery charger since the batteries die so quickly.
I've played some Wii Sports but mainly about 15-20 hours of Metroid and my battery indicator still has 2 bars. I have the volume and vibration on.

Has anyone played or seen reviews for "Anubis"? It's only $19.99 and it looks like it could be fun but I haven't heard anything about it.

I couldn't care less about soccer, but I may own two soccer games in the near future if this is as intuitive as it looks.

I also picked up RE4 for the Wii, but don't know when I will be up for replaying RE4. Feels good to actually buy a comple of Wii games after all these months. Can't wait for Guitar Hero III.
I nearly bought Power Pros, but MLB07 for PS3 was the same price and it won out.

I just downloaded Super Mario 2 Lost Levels, and it has to be one of the hardest games I have ever played. If Nintendo of America released this back in the 80s you would have had a lot of pissed fans. I don't think an Internetless 7 year old boy like me back then, would have been able to get pass level 2.
