Forums - Nintendo - WiiWare (slides for each game from Iwata's keynote)

 

The whole keynote can be seen here:

http://www.irwebcasting.com/071010/53/f078bbc3f8/main/index_hi.htm

Iwata had a lot of interesting things to say about the industry in general and Nintendo's market expansion and such, and again emphasized that Mario Kart Wii will have the first online battle mode, announced Sonic in Smash, announced Monster Hunter 3, etc... Anyway, on to the WiiWare:

 

The Pokemon Ranch channel didn't have a slide, but had a video, and Iwata explained that your Miis can interact with your Pokemanz and take pictures with them, which you can send to your friends. He also said you don't need to have either of the DS Pokemanz games to play. You can still ranch it up with some Pokemanz either way.

(Chiisa na Ousama to Yakusoku no Kuni - described by Iwata as a new nation-building RPG in the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series)

 

 

 

Out of the 4 WiiWare games being made by Nintendo, Miis are in all 4. Here are 2 more slides Iwata showed about Nintendo's WiiWare philosophy:

I watched that whole 50 minute keynote and weeded out the WiiWare-relevant screen shots and assembled this post and nobody's interested? 4 player Dr. Mario with Miis! 4 player Puzzloop with Miis! Online FFCC? No takers?

Edit: IGN says so, too.  



I thought it was that they got over 100 proposals? Knowing nintendo they're likely to cut out a lot of the games they think won't be as good.
