Today is Wii Ware day! Finally, original downloadable content is available on the Wii. And things are looking wonderfully promising.

Consider today's launch list. You have entries from a heavy weight like Square-Enix, who is weighing in with Final Fantasy: My Life as a King.

Yet also on the docket is something like Defend Your Castle, by small developer Xgen Studios.

So far, the most interesting entry is LostWinds, a platformer made by Frontier. It's getting rave reviews, with some saying that it is better than many full priced $50 titles! As it is, it's $10, and it has all the makings of a major hit (relative to digital download sales).

The other entries look solid, to the arcade action of Pop and the tried and true card game Blackjack. All in all a great first week. Wii Ware is already showing an advantage over Xbox Live Arcade... that it isn't just a vehicle for retro remakes and "quarter munching" shooters.
