It said the update on the Wii Shop Channel was for the WiiWare sections and the new Games that will be released in that section! What’s comming?

To summarize: These games will be released in the US on May 12th, but so far there are only a couple that seem to be to go for. The pricing is loose, there is a simple card game that is priced for 500 points ($5), another that has a much higher production value which is also priced the same, a rushed puzzle game that isn’t that great is 1000 ($10) points and Square Enix’s Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is 1500 ($15) with Pay to Play elements, extra content for more points.
When the games were first introduced to download, the servers had a hard time dealing with the load, so when they are released here, you might not be able to download them for a day or two.
There is no demo system like the Live Marketplace and there more than likely will not be one, so you will have to go off of other people’s reviews. And when you download a game, like the Virtual Console, there are no refunds.
And finally, there has yet to be any news on any extra storage devices (there was word of a USB device that could hold 8 Gigs, but that hasn’t been confirmed by Nintendo) so your blocks will start to get a little cramped if you have certain game saves (SSBB, Elebits) and Virtual Console games, so you may have to play around with an SD card and do some space management.
