'''WiiWare''' is a service that allows [[Wii]] users to download games and applications specifically designed and developed for the Wii video game console made by Nintendo. These games and applications can only be purchased and downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel under the WiiWare section. Once the user has downloaded the game or application, it will appear in their Wii Menu or SD Card Menu as a new [[Wii Channels|channel]]. WiiWare is a companion to the [[Virtual Console]], which specializes in emulated games originally developed for other systems instead of original titles. | '''WiiWare''' is a service that allows [[Wii]] users to download games and applications specifically designed and developed for the Wii video game console made by Nintendo.
