It was written about by games blog ‘Level Up‘ yesterday that an official announcement regarding more modern downloadable content for the Wii would be made shortly (this evening BST in fact).

Not only will Nintendo be releasing games and other software from the larger developers but the smaller, indie groups too. Nintendo will be checking the content it is 100% compatible with the Wii and screening for bugs as well as pricing the software in Wii Points appropriately.

On Wednesday morning, Nintendo will officially announce to the general public its plans for WiiWare, downloadable games for the wildly popular Wii videogame console. Unlike the vintage games already being offered for legacy systems (i.e. Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx 16) through the Virtual Console, these games will be built specifically for the Wii and sold via the Wii Shop Channel for Wii Points currency, much like the Xbox 360- and Playstation 3-specific games being sold on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.

Stay considerably glued to WiiDS for more information as it’s revealed.
