Nintendo launched their much anticipated WiiWare store today. If you’ve been living under a rock this past year, WiiWare is a dedicated store where third-party developers can sell their games developed specifically for the Wii console. As opposed to virtual console, which is just a marketplace for emulated games made for other systems.

Nintendo launched the new store today with 6 titles. The info is below:

• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Square Enix, 1500 Wii Points)
• LostWinds (Frontier Developments, 1000 Wii Points)
• Defend your Castle (XGen Studios, 500 Wii Points)
• Pop (Nnooo, 1-4 players, 700 Wii Points)
• V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack (High Voltage Software, Inc., 700 Wii Points)
• TV Show King (Gameloft, 1000 Wii Points)

Hopefully, Nintendo’s WiiWare channel will mature like PSN and XBLA. Fanboys are really looking forward to all the original titles that can be pushed through this channel. But for now we can settle for My Life as King and LostWinds.
