WiiWare turns one today so what is Nintendo doing to celebrate? Nothing much apparently. They just wanted us all to know that in one year they have been so beneficent as to allow 81 games to be releassed in that year. When asked about it all they said:

“The first anniversary of our WiiWare service is a milestone that marks how far the service has come and how much great content is currently available,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We encourage everyone to get their Wii consoles connected to the Internet so they have access to the full range of WiiWare games.”

Yes, get connected and explore the unbelievable amount of games...all 81 of them.

Really, for the one year anniversary they should do something special instead of just telling us to get our consoles on the net. Seems sort of a half-hearted project for Nintendo.
