Nintendo is inviting developers large and small to produce new downloadable games to be sold through the Wii Shop Channel.
The initiative, called "Wii Software" here and "WiiWare" in the US, was announced at a private developers' conference this week and confirmed to press in Europe this afternoon.
"Wii Software provides developers with big ideas - rather than big budgets - an easy and very accessible way to create new games and bring them to the marketplace," European marketing director Laurent Fischer explained.
The service would also offer "great additional value for Wii owners who will be able to download fresh new games", Fischer added.
