In a video interview with MTV, Reggi Fils-Aime provided a remark regarding Nintendo's involvement in WiiWare. "When we developed WiiWare our focus, as we discussed, was on smaller developers, brand new content, different types of content. Will we put out the occasional first-party WiiWare? Absolutely. But it's predominantly meant to be much more exploratory, experimental and for these brand new third-party developers." Basically, it seems as though Nintendo is stepping aside to let smaller third-party developers step in. The stance of the company makes sense, but how many games will we end up playing? So far, there have been three WiiWare titles partially developed by Nintendo, although none of them have been handled by an internal development team.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
Nice twist on the title >_>
They are interested but they are giving the developers more chance for them to shine.
Yeah why is it bad that Nintendo wants 3rd parties to show us what they can do with WiiWare
The article title is way out of context...
Anyway, WiiWare so far has been very good. I mean, is a new service... the service was released less than two months ago and the game selection is good.
In my personal collection: Dr. Mario, Final Fantasy, Defend Your Castle, Gyrostarr, Toki Tori, LostWinds (beautiful, by the way)... 6 good games in less than 8 weeks.
And next monday I will buy the new episodic game by Telltale: Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People.
Telltale is showing a lot of love for the Wii: Episodic game on WiiWare (Strong Bad), and Sam & Max Season 1 on Wii retail next month. I hope they bring also to the Wii the new Wallace & Gromit game.
The Wii Remote IR Pointer is great for point and click adventure games.
I think folks are not understanding the expectations of WiiWare. Its similar to XBLA concept of Community Games. It gives other small budget third party developers a chance to create games on the Wii!
Thats a pretty darn misleading title, as Reggie basically said something that is actually very positive for the wii, which is small third party support through WiiWare. I kinda thought thats what it was all about. He is merely stating that they wish to leave it to the third parties while once in a while adding their own flavor to the mix.
