This is the first Japanese commercial for Wii Ware, Nintendo's upcoming downloadable games service for the Wii. They show off some of the games they are going to debut such as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King and have the price in Wii points on the bottom right; where 100 points is approximately one dollar.
Last month IGN put up an interview with some details about the service here. Mainly they discuss what is happening between Nintendo and developers looking to create games for Wii Ware. Pointing out some specifics: developers will need to purchase a $2000 developer kit and have the appropriate licenses, they'll accept any game concept as long as it gets an ESRB ranking, developers can use any tools available on the Wii such as Wii Connect 24, and the control scheme is chosen by the developer be it classic controller or Wii remote. Wii Ware will also have approximately 100 games available at launch, but will be released over a period of time.
The launch date is planned to be May 12 in North America, so better prepare some points beforehand.
