Wait, what?
It seems Nintendo is offering downloadable games via a new computer-accessed store front.ShopNintendois offering tickets for Virtual Console games so that people can download them to the Wii later. As if that wasn’t odd enough, here’s the real kicker — the store is only sellingtwogames.
Right now, the only titles available arePokemon RumbleandSuper Mario Bros. 3. Yes, one random WiiWare game and one random Virtual Console game. I seriously have no frigging clue why they would do that. In any case, you may buy them via your browser right now … althoughwhyyou’d want to do it is beyond my comprehension.
Maybe we’re seeing the early stages of a massive store rollout, or maybe people just love these two games so much that they need to be able to buy them wherever they are. Or maybe,just maybe, it’s a secret government experiment, where you can use the Wii’s Internet browser to buy gamesforthe Wii, thus becoming sometathat you rip a hole through space-time and create a portal to The EverHell.
