So, yesterday was the 1st birthday of the Wiiware service, hailed by some as being revolutionary for small, independent game designers, and regarded as being a haven for classics such as World of Goo, Bomberman Blast, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, LostWinds, Toki Tori and My Aquarium. Though it does have its criticisms, mainly the quality control of some of the questionable titles coming out, for example SPOGS racing, Frat Party Games: Pong Toss, Midnight Bowling and many other titles that have come to be regarded as Shovelware.
What do you think of the Wiiware service now that it's a year old? Do you think the developers are trying to push the service to its limits, or just releasing sub-standard software that maybe would never have made it to the shop shelves? Have we been shown the inspiration and talent of people who have been struggling to express their ideas due to limited budgets and resources, after all that's why Nintendo created the service.
Let us know your thoughts.
