Nintendo are on the verge of announcing a new channel for their Wii videogames console. WiiWare will be a channel similar to the Virtual Console, but instead of offering retro titles for download, the games on WiiWare will be specifically designed for the console by a number of established publishers as well as Indie developers.

The scoop comes from Newsweek who have said that:

" Nintendo, as the retailer, would itself determine the appropriate pricing for each game on a per-title bases, the games themselves would not be vetted by Nintendo. Instead, Nintendo would only check the games for bugs and compatibility, with developers and publishers responsible for securing an E for Everyone, E10+ for Everyone 10 or older, T for Teen or M for Mature rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board--Adults Only titles like Manhunt 2 aren't welcome."

The full details of the new service are expected later today.
