I think I might be coming down with something. This morning I woke up feeling tired and sick, and while I was cleaning my room I had to lie down from nausea. I still have my paper to write and we have visitors coming this weekend- my aunt, uncle and my cousins ages 10 and 5. Should be fun, huh?
In other news, Nintendo just announced a new feature for their Wii console called WiiWare (I wonder if Wario gave them the idea?). WiiWare will allow developers to publish custom-designed games for the Wii controls that will be available in the Wii Shop Channel along with the classic Virtual Console titles. In addition to big-name developers like Sega using WiiWare, Nintendo is encouraging small, independent game developers to get involved. They want to see "shorter, original, more creative games from small teams with big ideas", and they're giving developers the freedom to publish what they want on the system, with Nintendo only intervening to check for bugs and compatibility issues.
This is really cool because it takes a lot to get your foot in the door in the video game industry, and this might very well blow the door wide open for indie developers. I hope this leads to more companies like Telltale Games (I'm a big fan of theirs if you haven't noticed yet) getting noticed and becoming more popular.
