Wii Ware is a service from
Nintendo that allows people to download games to their
Wii. Unlike the
Virtual Console, which lets you play old games from the past, Wii Ware is composed of
completely mostly original titles.
It can be thought of as the Wii's approximate equivalent of the
Xbox Live Arcade and
PlayStation Network. Like the Virtual Console, Wii Ware games are added to the roster once a week. Some games are playable online, such as
Dr. Mario Online Rx and
Tetris Party. Some games also have
extra content that can be downloaded to the game for an extra fee, known as
Pay + Play. Much like the other console's digital download services,
WiiWare has spawned some unique titles of its own.
