The Wii's imminent WiiWare channel is set to bring downloadable small-scale titles to the Wii, similar to XBox Live Arcade and the Playstation counterpart. Despite the channel being aimed at indie developers, it has caught the imagination of some larger-scale developers such as Square-Enix and Hudson. Nintendo says that so far they have received proposals for over 100 WiiWare games and have several of their own in the pipeline.
One of the most ambitious titles so far announced is Final Fantasy: The Young King and the Promise Country, an original FF game from Square-Enix, set in the Crystal Chronicles storyline. Below are some amazing looking screenshots.

The game is set to retail at the low price of 1500 Wii Points which translates to:
Looking good, it will hopefully set the standard for WiiWare titles to come.
However, some sad news:
Hopefully they'll change their mind like they did with USB keyboard support.

However, some sad news:
Considering the Wii has a rather small flash drive, how many titles will it be able to hold? For example, even though Crystal Chronicles on WiiWare is not going to be large, it might be difficult to have even ten games of that volume.
A lot of the games for WiiWare that have been submitted so far are smaller in size, so they're not gonna take up a ton of your drive. But the way that we look at it is, we really don't want people storing every single game they buy on their drive. When you buy a game, it's yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want.
Hopefully they'll change their mind like they did with USB keyboard support.
