Everybody’s Nintendo Channel, which launched last year and includes features like downloading DS game demos to your Nintendo DS, will be coming to the US around the same time as WiiWare, and the two features will be somewhat integrated. In lieu of game demos, which are discouraged by Nintendo, any player who has played a WiiWare game for at least an hour will be able to put up a review of the game on Everybody’s Nintendo Channel, for others to look at before they make purchases. The channel also offers release lists for Wii and DS games, and in Japan at least, streaming video media.

Speaking of WiiWare, Reggie Fils-Aime revealed that in the US, WiiWare game releases would be staggered like Virtual Console releases, with new ones being put out on a weekly basis; this is not the case in Japan.

Lastly, Nintendo commented on the availability of the Wii console in the US, noting that the average Wii sits on a store shelf for only about an hour. The number of units produced in America are predetermined by Nintendo of Japan, and Reggie makes sure to tell them the "missed opportunities" of restricting supply; currently, North America is the only region where supply is failing to meet demand.

The weekly staggering of games sounds like a good idea to me; we’ve got quite a few interesting games coming from American developers and this could help very much to avoid droughts.
