WiiWare Continues to Deliver Great New Games to Consumers
REDMOND, Wash., May 12, 2009 – WiiWare™, the downloadable video game service for Nintendo’s Wii™ home console, launched one year ago today. It arrived with a promise to provide a venue for game developers to showcase their ideas, while delivering to consumers the newest, most interesting games available at accessible prices, directly through the Wii Shop Channel in their Wii consoles. With 81 games in its library, WiiWare ensures that there’s something for everyone. But beyond quantity, WiiWare offers quality games and experiences for all types of Wii owners.
WiiWare removes barriers that make console game development expensive, and helps developers connect directly with consumers. WiiWare games have been created by more than 40 different development studios, from large companies to small startups. In fact, more than half the games in the WiiWare library were created and self-published by small independent studios, many with five or fewer employees.
“The first anniversary of our WiiWare service is a milestone that marks how far the service has come and how much great content is currently available,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We encourage everyone to get their Wii consoles connected to the Internet so they have access to the full range of WiiWare games.”
Nintendo’s roster of quality WiiWare games stands as an example of what creative minds can accomplish. Titles range from completely original creations to names that are instantly familiar and beloved. Just look at a small sampling of what has been accomplished in just one year’s time:
30 Great Family Party Games
Aces
Action Girlz Racing
Alien Syndrome
AMF Bowling Pinbusters
Arctic Tale
Avatar: Burning Earth
Balls Of Fury
Barbie Horse Adventure: Summer Camp
Bass Fishing

Wii™, PC and the Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft are the systems on the starting blocks for Summer Athletics 2009. The sports game will be available on all three platforms this summer. The Wii version even incorporates some of the physical elements of track and field thanks to the Wii Balance Board™.
In Summer Athletics 2009 the controls are individually designed for each platform and discipline, taking maximum advantage of each formats’ unique strengths. This makes Summer Athletics 2009 easy-to-learn sports fun with a huge variety of gameplay.
While Wii players imitate the natural breaststroke of swimming, it is about rotating the left and right sticks in correct speed on Xbox 360. PC players either choose classical retro style keyboard controls or plug in their gamepad or Xbox 360 controller. Due to several years of experience with multiplatform sports titles, developer 49Games is known for creating intuitive and comfortable controls.
