WiiWare and the Virtual Console

So, Nintendo has this whole WiiWare service, but you'd never know it from advertisements. Why? Because there aren't any... but we have a feeling it might be an issue of import during the conference.

Why it's likely: There are some big titles coming. LostWinds may have been great, but it's no Mega Man.

Why we might not see it: Then again, WiiWare really seems to have cooties or something.

Prediction: Likely. There's too much coming down the pipe for Nintendo to keep ignoring WiiWare. Look for the Virtual Console, too, particularly in discussions of sales and success.
