The Nintendo Wii owners community is constantly expanding and for now it looks like it's going to keep growing in the next period. But it seems the guys over at Nintendo want to make use of the momentum created by Wii and take the matter one step further.

I'm talking about WiiWare, of course. And you don't have to get alarmed if you don't know what's it all about because it's scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2008. What they plan to do is to create a development platform that game creators with smaller budgets can use to promote their work. This was tired before by Microsoft and Sony on their proprietary platforms but without any astonishing success. That was due to restrictions they enforced, both in the development process and also when talking about copyright issues.

Independent developers armed with small budgets and big ideas will be able to get their original games into the marketplace.

Nintendo says they want to eliminate all that and WiiWare productions will only be limited by the imagination of their creators. This is questionable since the Wii console itself is limited. Even ...
... if not by legal means, it is limited by the hardware capabilities. But on the second thought I don't really know if that's such a big problem, as Wii has managed to create a loyal community of fans even if it doesn't use the latest hardware on the market.
