From the looks of it, Wired really figured that Angel's Solitaire for WiiWare would be dripping with moe. A cute pair of devil and angel girls who watch you play solitaire? Surely they'll be making all kinds of suggestive commentary as you play.
As it turns out, no, they just sit there.
WiiWare is off to an okay start, but it's going to need some work if Nintendo wants to compete with Xbox Live Arcade.
Wired thinks it's fine that the quality of the games varies wildly, but Nintendo should take a bit more of a hold on the pricing structure. Wired can see having cheapo games like Angel's Solitaire right next to obviously higher-budget productions like Okiraku Ping-Pong, but why do they cost the same five bucks?

actually developers are more happy with Wiiware then XBLA.......so i didnt read on xD
The first wave of WiiWare games have arrived in Japan, and it's pretty obvious right off the bat that gamers are going to need a discerning eye when selecting their downloads on Nintendo's new service. While some titles – such as Dr. Mario, or My Life as a King – are showing the strengths of the new Wii Shop Channel options, games like Tenshi no Solitaire are doing quite the contrary.
