WiiWare should get more recognition from everyone because there are a number of games on WiiWare that are superior to many retail games. Not to mention they provide you great entertainment for a fraction of the price of many retail releases. In October alone two of the most critically acclaimed games for the Wii were on WiiWare: World of Goo and Tetris Party. World of Goo costs 1500 Wii Points ($15.00) while Tetris Party is 1200 Wii Points ($12.00). Even before October WiiWare was home to innovative releases such as LostWinds, the Art Style series, Mega Man 9, and the Strong Bad episodic content.
For more information on WiiWare check out Nintendo's Wiiware Page. This will provide you with information on game details, how to connect your Wii to the internet, and purchasing Nintendo Points. New WiiWare games are released every Monday at 10:00 a.m. Mountain time. Wii Bluelight always updates the new WiiWare and Virtual Console games on the sidebar every Monday.

WiiWare
One of the most under appreciated aspects of the Wii has to be WiiWare. One of the difficulties that Nintendo faces in promoting WiiWare is that the Wii has found a large casual following. These fans are less likely then other gamers to connect their Wii to the internet. In fact, in Japan only about 40% of Wii owners have their Wii connected to the internet. As such, a large number of games have gone unnoticed by a large segment of Wii owners.

The worst part about Nintendo's service is the lack of storage space. There are way too many good games that get overlooked simply because you have to factor in the small 512 MB as well. Here's hoping the storage solution works…
