WiiWare to Reportedly Launch in March

According to the Dutch developer Engine Software, WiiWare would launch within less than three months.  Engine Software, which is currently working on Nintendo DS games GoPets: Vacation Island and Dragon Hunters, said that WiiWare would launch in March and that they already started working on the first WiiWare game, called Project Bang! Engine Software described this title as a “casual game type with very addictive gameplay” that could be played by one or two users using the Wii Remote.  

Called Wii Software in Europe, WiiWare represents Nintendo’s upcoming downloadable games service, the Japanese company’s answer to rival Microsoft’s Xbox Arcade and Sony’s PlayStation Network similar services. The famous Japanese company did not confirm Engine Software’s report by saying only that the company “has not made any official announcement regarding the launch of the WiiWare service.” Nintendo previously announced that it would launch WiiWare in “early 2008.”

The Netherlands-based developer Engine Software’s previous works include The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Circle of Spies, High School Musical: Livin' The Dream for GBA on Nintendo DS, and contributing work on the DS version of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords.
