Nintendo: 100 WiiWare titles in development warp pipe
According to Nintendo of America's senior director of project development, Tom Prata, there are currently over 100 WiiWare titles in various stages of development. Speaking with IGN, Prata says there were no first-party titles for the WiiWare launch because the company wanted to showcase the diversity of WiiWare developers, from large publishers, like Square Enix, to smaller and indie developers.
The interview is actually more noteworthy for the lack of information Prata gave to some direct questions. He dodges whether there will be a hard drive in the near future for the Wii, or if Nintendo plans to lift the alleged 43MB size limit for WiiWare titles. He also wouldn't discuss which WiiWare titles have been the most popular. Prata did say, however, that consumers shouldn't hold their breath for WiiWare demos to become standard with available titles.

I'm not going to go with the obvious and say, "ZOMFG OVER 100 TITELZ NINTENDOZ AWESHUM!" But it shows that they are 100% committed to this service. The only aspect on online that remains to be dealt with is the ACTUAL ONLINE PLAY!
Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
