[casual_games] WiiWare/Wii Software

[Joe Schultz]

Hi all. Some public Wii devkit pricing info can be found on the  
WarioWorld site;

http://www.warioworld.com/apply/wii.html

#4.  Software Development Kits: Approximate development costs range  
from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the size of your team. Financial  
stability is expected by approved developers in order to purchase the  
necessary development equipment for your project

Pure speculation, but I imagine that some of the related terms might  
be changed if applying strictly to WiiWare (for example: #1 Developer  
Qualifications).

Hope this helps,

joe
