Well, I’ll be damned. Nintendo Australia was only a week behind the US in releasing WiiWare. Available today, you can now download one of six WiiWare titles directly to your Wii console.
Each game will set you back somewhere between about $12 and $22.50, and the only necessities are a Wii, a broadband connection and enough space for the games.
Hit the jump for the full release, including the list of launch games (hint: it’s the same as the US):
Those of you who own Nintendo Wiis may like to know that Nintendo’s answer to Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network titles goes live today. Called WiiWare, the offerings are smaller, downloadable games (and applications) that currently range from US$5 to US$15.

The difference here is that WiiWare’s content is all original and generally focused at the small developer. Six games are available starting today. They’re listed after the jump.
