WiiWare is where you can download games. It may sound a lot like the Virtual Console, but WiiWare let's you download games made specifically for the Wii, instead of old games.

c_rake was pretty clear... but in case you need a bit more...

VC: old games available to DL. the original one.

WiiWare: new games from scratch.. made for the wii. They may even include the montion senstive (e.g. defend your castle)

something you could compare it too is Xbox live arcade, games being sold for the cost of VC games. But they won't be as large and long as a game like SMG or Halo, for example

nope... a different one...

we will have Wii games (in case), wii original tru wiiware and Vc games... kind of like the PS3 store games or the XBOX live (I think) but divided in 2: VC and Wiiware.

e.g. the same way you can DL pixel junk in ps3 store... is a original way only available tru that.
