Japan's WiiWare Hands-on

Written by Cody Shadle

A few days ago, IGN.com added their recent hands-on with nine of the recently released "WiiWare" titles available in Japan. The WiiWare area will launch in America on May 12th, in case any of the hands-on articles spark your interest.

The nine titles they go hands-on with are:

Dr. Mario
Pokemon Ranch
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
Star Soldier R
Okiraku Ping Pong Wii
Tenshi no Solitaire
Word Puzzle Mojipittan Wii
Saku Saku Animal Panic
Lonpos

A few interesting things about some of the titles:

In multiplayer modes of some of the games, you can choose to play online with a friend, even if they don't own the game. You can choose to send a multiplayer-only version of the game for a friend to download. Then you trade friend codes and play online together.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King and Lonpos both have warnings for users purchasing the titles that they may have to pay for future game-enhancing updates for the titles. This is most likely part of Nintendo's new "Pay-to-Play" service.
