Poor bomb

If only they re-did it for WiiWare or other digital services....

If only Nintendo had the drive to put a nice hard drive on the Wiis and allow for full games, we could see some of the lesser-purchased games get a second life.

The highest rated downloadable game on any service is World of Goo, stickball, and there are plenty of games on WiiWare of length equal or greater than those on XBLA and PSN. Actually another full retail game got added this week, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. World of Goo was a big success, as have been other lengthy adventures like Lost Winds. Don't talk about a service you have no experience with. 

Naz,

I am talking file size exclusively. World of Goo is 320 blocks, or roughly 40MB. Lost Winds is 259 blocks or roughly 30MB. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is 302 blocks or 35MB.

Zack and Wiki is 4.0 gigabytes. Or roughly 32,000 blocks - one hundred times larger than any of the games you mentioned.

That is why I said Nintendo needed a storage solution that would allow for disc-based gems that may have been passed over, to get a second life on WiiWare. I am in full agreement that WoG and Lost Winds have done exceptionally well - and it is for that reason I think that games like Zack and Wiki would do very well on the service...Provided there was a storage solution that allowed consumers to download large games without requiring multiple SD cards.
