The Wii Shop channel is a place where a man/woman can go, and indulge in the smaller video games. Whether it be by way of the Virtual Console, or when the WiiWare Channel launches. The WiiWare titles who for the most part, will be developed by smaller developers and publishers. I found an interesting bit of news today by the way of IGN, about the pricing structure of the WiiWare titles.

This could rack up as being one of the greatest mornings/days ever. You never complain when you only work half a day, and enjoy one of the most perfect days outside. I've been giddy since I've woken up, but now there's even more reason for my smile to get bigger. It was announced today that Madden 09 now has a cover athlete. While news like this usually gets a shoulder shrug, this year's athlete has me intrigued. I won't ruin the surprise for you, and just let you view this video from Gametrailers.com.
Looks like Nintendo is trying to hype up Mario Kart by sponsoring some tournaments via the Mario Kart Channel. Interesting that the tournaments will have specific rules like having to use certain controls schemes, Matt must be thrilled to hear that the only way he can compete is with his favorite peripheral? the Wii Wheel! Anyone interested in participating let us know.
Bonus points: Check out the picture and name that driver?

Nintendo has thrown down the gauntlet for Mario Kart? Wii racers worldwide. Now it's time to see who's up to the challenge, as players take on the world in Mario Kart Wii Tournaments.
Every few weeks, a new tournament will appear on the Mario Kart Channel, an online feature that not only allows players to compete in tournaments, but also exchange race data with friends. Tournaments might take the form of a challenge for players to race a certain course as fast as they can with specific characters, or to collect a number of coins on a course using the Wii Wheel? accessory or another control setup. They can feature unique rules or obstacles on the course.
The first tournament, which appears today, directs racers to compete for the fastest time on the Mario Circuit. Look closely though ? something may be different. Players can attempt the challenge as often as they like during the duration of the tournament. Their best time will be recorded and added to the worldwide rankings, allowing players to see how they stack up against the best racers from around the world.
