For the non believers; New channel to house indie and new VC games
« on: January 26, 2007, 05:18:15 AM »
I know some of you personally don't believe that Nintendo will support original VC games and say that it will not likely happen or if it does it will be ill conceived and supported poorly (I'm looking at you, Mantidor!). Well, this is the official confirmation that not only is Nintendo supporting original content for the VC they might be making a brand new channel to house all of the indie games downloaded on the Wii shop.

Go Nintendo has the full story..

They say Wii Shop, not Virtual Console. Seems they agree that the VC is for emulated games and original games need a separate category.

I wonder what size limitations (MB wise) are on the original titles.

Not to be a dick, but this could have just as easily gone into the  Original VC content thread.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

The virtual console as I understand it is like Xbox Live, it's what Nintendo calls their online system for downloading games. Stop nitpicking for goodness sakes, and vudu is right, but i'm with you pap.

Silly monkeys; give them thumbs they make a club and beat their brother down. How they survive so misguided is a mystery. Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an a eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

My bad. I thought no one had posted about original VC content. I've only read the posts about how it will never happen.

“Nintendo has developed a programming system that will allow small independent developers to make games for Wii download service."

I am very intrigued.  Any idea on whether or not it'll still require a development kit?

Hm, while reading about the internet channel I realized that other news services(including more local ones) could develop their own channels though the Original Content system.  

My Dad would love to have a channel devoted to the Drudge Report.

No. Virtual Console refers to legacy games which is why the WiiShop has different categories (and the article mention the prospect of there being a new one).

snore..... this is just rephrasing old info.  

I still hope they reorganize VC so that each game isn't taking up a whole channel.  I'm spilling into the second page now.
