Is any other part of the world getting this in March? In Japan near the end of March we'll see the start of Wii Ware. Basically it's seems like XBOX Arcade for Wii to me.

As you'd expect there are loads of shitty gimmicky "Family" crap coming to it however two nice titles that caught my eye are Star Soldier by Hudson and this very pretty looking Final Fantasy (Can't remember the name now.) Games are priced 500 to 1500 points so far, which I guess isn't too bad. My main concern though is storage ! I sure hope Nintendo let you run these from SD cards because the Wii's internal memory will soon fill up. Or maybe they'll allow the use of USB Hard Drives. You have to admit, so far the Wii's USB ports are pretty redundant with only a LAN adaptor and Keyboard making use of them.

Sadly, there's no chance in hell of Nintendo allowing people to run games off of SD cards because of their irrational fear of piracy. Even with all the DRM the games will have, it's just how they are.

Rest of the world will not be getting Wiiware this March.

North America will be be getting Wiiware in May. I don't know when Europe gets Wiiware.
