WiiWare US-bound in May

But no European date as yet.

Nintendo has confirmed reports that WiiWare will offer its charms to Americans from 12th May.

WiiWare lets you download original games for little money, like you do on Live Arcade or PSN, although exact pricing is still to be determined.

Promising prospects so far include the recently unveiled LostWinds from industry old-timer David Braben and his Frontier team.
