Nintendo announces downloable content for Wii games

Following the exciting and bad news from the Nintendo conference at the Game Developers Conference 2008, Nintendo has finally confirmed that Wii games will have downloadable content.

This applies to Wii games, Virtual Console, and Wii Ware titles. The new content will be available for purchase through the games that feature Downloadable Content.

No further details have been released.

As for my thoughts, I am very excited. We can download new songs for Guitar Hero 3; maybe add some online multiplayer to Virtual Console games, maybe later on new Super Smash Bros. Brawl characters? Who knows? The possibilities are insane!

Awesome! I'm hoping some content that's just add-ons to games won't cost extra.

One step closer...

to offering online like live. Don't get me wrong I love my wii more then I love my 360 but the 360 makes the Wii looked crippled in the online department.

I hope that with the DLC coming Nintendo will realize people will pay for a hard drive to put it all on, not crappy SD cards. When's the last time anyone's bought a memory card? PS2? GameCube?

Also, their really needs to be a Brawl channel. This link IGN: GDC 2008: Sakurai on Super Smash Bros. Brawl to an interview with Sakurai says it isen't possible without a real hard drive. If they release a hard drive, does this become a real possiblity?
