100 WiiWare Titles Under Development.

theundertakergonzo | June 03, 2008 | News | Wii 
The company plans to release new WiiWare titles every Monday but it hasn't set a limit on the amount of games set to be released each week. Currently as said by Tom Prata there are about 100 WiiWare titles under development. Then there was a little Q&A between IGN and Tom Prata.
NOA's senior director of project development, Tom Prata, told IGN that the company plans to release new WiiWare titles each Monday and that it hasn’t set a limit on the number of games that will launch on any given week.

IGN: We know a lot of developers have completed WiiWare games which haven't yet been released. Will new WiiWare titles be released every Monday? What is the limit you're putting on how many WiiWare games can be released every week?

Tom Prata: Our plan is to make new WiiWare games available on Mondays, as we do with Virtual Console titles. We have not set a limit to the number of games that will launch on any given Monday. Rather, we are working with developers and their production schedules to bring the products to consumers in a timely manner.

IGN: What is the most popular WiiWare download so far?

Tom Prata: We don't have sales information to share at this time, however we are pleased to see consumers enjoying the games made available by WiiWare developers.

IGN: We recently had to delete half the games and Channels on our systems to make room for two WiiWare titles. Lack of storage space has become a huge problem. What're your thoughts on this issue? Will Nintendo address it soon?

Tom Prata: Consumers have the option of either deleting the game and downloading it again for no additional Wii Points, or transferring the game from Wii to external SD memory card.

IGN: How many WiiWare games do you have the queue?

Tom Prata: Currently, there are about 100 games in development for WiiWare at various stages of completion

    Well this obviously means they have 100 games as ideas for Wii Ware, not 100 games that are in the middle of development.

    I also noticed the storage thing there, looks like Nintendo's trying to distract us from the Wii's small memory.

    SD cards will solve the "tiny space".
