WiiWare devs rip Microsoft March 18, 2008
“Nintendo has made it very clear to us that we’ll not only be making a better royalty rate from WiiWare games, but we’ll also have a better chance of selling games - the service won’t be clogged up with the retro titles that have blighted the chances of many independent studios on Xbox Live Arcade.”
– Anonymous WiiWare development studio boss
“Frankly, we’re not looking at making games for Xbox Live Arcade because the service is full of sh*t.”
– Another WiiWare developer
“We found trying to get a downloadable title approved on other platforms prohibitively expensive as we needed to supply artwork and demos to be looked at and if that demo is not signed we could have spent three to six months worth of development money and be nowhere.
“It should be noted that we can purchase almost two to four Wii development kits for one Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 one, which as you can appreciate for a small company can affect our budget a lot.”

Honestly, would it kill you to write a real article?
sorry wrong article; ignore the above post
hmmm just more evidence that the wii is better
GO Wii GO! I’m very excited about this. I love my wii but I increasingly have less and less time to play retail games. They’re too long and more often than not I end up not completing them. Wii ware could be my saviour, shorter games but with the same wii quality that I’ve become accustom to. This could be a real coup for Nintendo, I wish them all the luck with this exciting prospect and I’m behind them 100%!
March 25? for USA?
