I have serious doubts that WiiWare is going to help any (minus a 'token group') of indy developers.
Its just a digital distribution channel for the same players that are releasing Wii titles at the moment... plus the big, established casual game makers (i.e. PopCap).
I bet we see Bejewelled, Chuzzle, Peggle (etc) on the service in the launch period.
Too many players want in, and there is too much money at stake.
Hopefully I'm wrong :)
