It’s recently been revealed that Wii Software which is the European version of Wii Ware will set to launch this March. The company responsible for this project, Engine Software says, “Nintendo’s WiiWare service is a new downloadable game content service that is scheduled to be launched in March 2008″.

They also said, “When we acquired our official Wii license last year we already had several concepts written up that would be ideal for WiiWare, and Project Bang! is the first to actually go into production. We wanted to get rolling on this exciting new platform early on, and I am quite happy we are now on schedule to do just that.”

If I’m correct, what I believe most concerns me about launching a downloadable game content channel is the fact that more pirated copies will be available. Not that these don’t already exist, but it would make it so much more easier to gain access to newly launched games in the future. What’s worst is anyone could publish and upload them into P2P networks or BT… Nintendo has yet to comment on any of these issues, maybe there will be a method of prevention of somekind? But I think the term downloadable game content is still quite vague, it will be interesting to see what Nintendo actually means by that and how it will really work.
