[edit] Table Change

This table should have some sort of Release date section, I would suggest using either the Wifi play or Wii Conect 24 and combining them into a column titled Online.

So baicly the table would have seven collumns sections: Name, Developer, Publisher, Cost, Online, Mii, Release date. 130.13.255.188 23:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

The problem with adding a release date column is that each region has a different release date. We definitely shouldn't combine WiiConnect24 and the Wi-Fi Connection as they are distinctly different. -Zomic13 01:27, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
I've added columns for the three major release locations. This copies the way it's done on List of Wii games. --Pete Wall 18:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

The date-sorting doesn't work correctly for North America. Can someone fix it? (I don't know how.) Thanks. Sxp151 (talk) 17:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

What exactly is wrong with it? It appears to be fine right now, but point out what you believe is wrong and I'll get to it if possible. -- Comandante {Talk} 17:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Source column

Do the sources really need their own column? They could be put at the end of the title or somewhere else. With the addition of the release date columns, we'll need valuable screen space. --Pete Wall 18:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current "WiiWare"

Should things like the Internet Channel and the Everybody Votes Channel be added? They're technically under WiiWare. The T 20:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

They aren't games though, so they are covered at Wii Menu. -Zomic13 23:24, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Ahahaha! Yes, that's true... ^^;;; The T 03:05, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

We need a article about Fishy... or is it not a WiiWare title? Versus22 (talk) 22:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fishy (XGen Studios)

We should just leave the game as Fishy. It's named that on Virtual Console Review website. Versus22 (talk) 19:30, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Game/software size

Not sure if this is completely necessary but wouldn't it be handy to add a column indicating the amount of blocks each title takes up on the Wii memory? Obviously we couldn't populate this until the software is released but it might be something to consider in the future. (This is my first ever comment, not sure how to add my IP :S Daft Ada) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.64.224.250 (talk) 11:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

That is definitely something to consider when the game are released. -Zomic13 (talk) 21:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Microtransactions for WiiWare games

It has been announced that two WiiWare games Mojipittan[1] and LONPOS[2] will have downloadable content. Should we add this to the table? Rhonin the wizard (talk) 15:59, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Done and done.Mmark089 (talk) 06:31, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

However, putting yes in the "pay-to-play" column makes it too vague. The game itself is free to play, but what you are paying for is additional content (i.e., extra cities and races in "My Life as a King", or extra question packs for LONPOS). If some people were to see this, they think that "pay-to-play" implies a monthly subscription fee (i.e., just to play the game). Is there any way we can clarify this? Brittany Ka (talk) 20:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

"Pay-to-play" is the official name for games with DLC, so it shouldn't be changed. -Zomic13 (talk) 20:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Alright, it's definitely Pay&Play. Just look at FFCC:MOakdjileajlkdhs on the Wii Shop Channel. It clearly says "Pay&Play", not "Pay to Play". So, someone fix that. If no one gets to it, I might do it sometime in the coming days. Josh7289 (talk) 02:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Fixed it. -- Comandante {Talk} 19:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] rotr and world of goo

rotr might make it onto wii ware. not for certain, though. [3]. Also, 2d boy wouldn't confirm world of goo is coming to wii ware, only that's it coming to the wii in some form (disc or wiiware).Link is from February, so it might've changed. Current reference link does not state it's a wiiware title. [4] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.183.141 (talk) 19:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Europe WiiWare games

We are geting it in May 2008 here is the link http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=11622 A Candela (talk) 23:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know... That letter from NoE could be a mistake (as noted in the link). We don't know for sure when Wii Software will come to Europe.Mmark089 (talk) 06:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Why has it got Unreleased on some of the games and what does it mean? A Candela (talk) 23:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

The word unreleased is on because a release date has not been set for some games. Versus22 (talk) 00:13, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Making seperate articles

Should we divide this article into three (one for each region) like we did for the Virtual Console list? The table is getting pretty big.Mmark089 (talk) 06:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't seem that big to me, I think we should wait until it's released in Europe and America. Rhonin the wizard (talk) 12:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
The List of Wii games sort of uses this kind of table, so I don't think we need to put these games into separate articles for each region. Versus22 (talk) 18:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
That is something to consider and we should probably discuss it. However, as Rhonin said, I think we should wait until its out in all three regions first. -Zomic13 (talk) 22:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, sorry Zomic13, I take that back. Okay I know for this part I'm discussing improvements for the wrong article, but it's similar to this. I created a regional article called List of Wii games (North America) and I believe we should do this here as well to save size memory for a table. Versus22 (talk) 22:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, RobJ1981 says it will not be needed. A size limit is not an excuse to make regional articles. Versus22 (talk) 22:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Controllers

Should we add a column indicating which controllers are supported for each game?Mmark089 (talk) 06:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redesign

Im suggesting that once WiiWare launches, that someone redisign the page more similer to the XBLA wiki page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Machinehead09 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It should be like the XBLA and VC pages. Wilbot (talk) 00:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

This page needs to be organized by available and coming soon titles. I'm no good with the whole table thing; could someone split this into two tables? 72.75.204.44 (talk) 22:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Such a split is impractical. Each time a game is released, it would have to moved to the "available" table, then you have to take into account that some games may be released on different dates for different regions. -- Comandante {Talk} 23:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] OWN Issue 30

It says that

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King May 2008 POP May 2008 Eternity's Child Summer 2008 Defend Your Castle May 2008 LostWinds May 2008 Plättchen Twist 'n' Paint May 2008 Bruiser and Scratch in the Case of the Puzzling Paw Summer 2008 Everyone's Pokémon Ranch May 2008 Dr. Mario & Bacteria Extermination May 2008 Saku Saku Animal Panic May 2008 Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People June 2008 Star Soldier R May 2008 A Candela (talk) 21:57, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LostWinds sequel confirmed

http://wii.ign.com/articles/873/873467p1.html

It's on their official website too. Can someone add LostWinds 2 to the list? 96.226.112.38 (talk) 19:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Added to the list. -- Comandante {Talk} 20:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Multiplayer

There should be a column if it's multiplayer or not. 63.237.58.7 (talk) 15:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

There is one, it's called Wi-Fi Connection. Rhonin the wizard (talk) 15:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
