A customer service representative for Nintendo, has revealed that WiiWare has become the primary focus for Nintendo of America. This is after disgruntled US Nintendo fans sent emails inquiring just why no classic games are being released at frequency they have come to expect prior.

We understand your concern about the lack of service on the VC as of late. Due to sales numbers being far greater recently on WiiWare than on Virtual Console, we have decided to steer in the direction of WiiWare.

Also, we in America have NO plans to update the Internet Channel or the Nintendo Channel. We hope you understand.

Well I guess I can't blame Nintendo. They have a ton of titles available already and there are actually some decent games on Wiiware now if I'm not mistaken. If they have most of their bases covered with the virtual console and want to focus more on expanding their wiiware stuff, then I'm alright with it.

So, they've decided to focus on shitty shovelware WiiWare games, and abandon the classics that I might actually buy? *sigh*

EarthBound... ;-;

They're making my childhood cry.

In their defense, I can't imagine some of the licensing nightmares releasing some of the older games must cause.  If the release infrequent quality games for Virtual Console, I'm good.

Perhaps it became less profitable because they released crap games most people aren't interested in?

I read about that and I'm fucking pissed.  I would rather have awesome VC games then WiiWare games.

Me too, because the majority of what's been released on WiiWare so far has been weak. (-don't get me started on DSiWare -took a look this morning) There has been no quality control as promised, it seems they have let any crappy developer make games and still charge a high price for it.

Yes, I was going to say the same in the OP, but left you all to draw that obvious conclusion.

I think I may send a e-mail of my own soon.

I don't think customer service would even be filled in on this kind of information.

I can understand a bit where they are coming from with the release of some of these obscure games.  A lot games are probably games most people never played.  I am certain there are some games people never played.  However, most people are going to be more interested in the popular ones, something most people would be satisfied with.

That sucks. There are so many more games I'm willing to buy. Don't stop now.

So many games I want to play will never be released, owell.  Guess its finally time to get rid of the wii
