After the launch of WiiWare in Japan last month and the revelation that Square Enix would be providing downloadable content for their first title on the service, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King, today the firm has revealed just how much gamers will have to cough up to purchase new buildings, clothes and races in the so-called "country building" adventure - ranging from 100 to 800 Wii Points and totalling $28 USD.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "This past week, Nintendo announced that after more of a decade they would be shutting down the Wii Shop Channel. Many gamers (myself included) have found memories of taking our Wii consoles online, putting in our Wii Point Card numbers and downloading a whole bunch of classic Nintendo, Sega and NEC titles onto the Wii system. But the Wii Shop Channel was also home to a whole catalogue of new games that made up the system’s WiiWare service. It was here that many of the system’s smaller and more experimental titles came into being and many of the developers that brought us these games are now responsible for big indie series’ thanks to their original success on WiiWare. So as a sort of goodbye to Nintendo’s original download service, we’re counting down the Top 20 Best WiiWare games starting with numbers 20 through 11 today (check back next Friday for 10 -1)."
As we prepare to say goodbye to the Wii, we’ve decided to take a moment and share some of our favorite games for the little console with the video below.
Please enjoy a short list of games we liked for the Wii that simply didn’t get much main stream attention. What other games do you feel fit this category? We’d love to hear about your favorite Wii experiences!Please, share!

we dont have to say "farewell" to any of these games. We can say, "welcome aboard" and play them on the wii-u.
Nintendo should use that as a marketing angle. "Don't say farewell to those wii games. Say hello to them all over again on the Nintendo Wii-U."
Or something to that effect.
yea or "people, who didnt own a Wii, now can enjoy Wii & Wii U games on one console" yeay! :)
btw, here's a good list of games Wii and others, made by me ^^ :)

Yep i Didn't have a Wii, but i preordered the Wii U. So i will get to play all those great games i missed and i know there's more than that list!!!
There's tons of games for the Wii. Some thought themselves too much of a gamer to appreciate them though.
I know its only an opinion piece but... No Sin and Punishment, no Dead Space, no Zack and Wiki? There's numerous other gems out there but those three seem like no-brainers.
Those were actually on the docket to be added to the video, but it would have caused me to miss my deadline for the piece. I had to stop where I was. :-(

Whilst Nintendo will surely be pre-occupied with Project Café and upcoming 3DS games but hopefully they'll give us a look at a few upcoming eShop games. Among those hypothetical eShop games there are a whole bunch of previous Nintendo Downloads that I've love to see revisited."
Reading the prices I thought it was some sort of Aprill fools joke. However, after reading the same news at IGN I realized this is just very expensive.
Sounds more like Square Enix and yes I think this is the pay to play thingy as well.
