Nintendo promised that small developers could make Wiiware games, and then everyone was complaining that the process was too hard. By the looks of it, it isn't so bad after all...
I wonder what sort of programming experience is needed (e.g. language)... >_O
The bit where he said that scrapping high score facilities because it was unnecessary coding made me realise just how easy MMF makes game making for us.
You betcher biscuits! Thing is, which language? O_o There are at least two Wii middlewares that I can think of... How hard is it to get something made with those published?
They require that you have an office, and don't support bedroom coders; even the Pickford Bros weren't accepted now they've gone indie, and they've had a long history with Nintendo and the industry as a whole.

Actually, I had an email conversation with one of Nintendo's employees about this.
Almost certainly, provided you meet the other criteria. Also, I'd take into consideration whether your game proposal treads on the toes of or resembles a Nintendo full-retail game; if it does, it may not be accepted, and deemed 'inappropriate'; there have been suspect cases, one in particular that I'm aware of, where devs have met all the criteria but have oddly still been refused, with a game that was just a bit too close to Battalion Wars.

I've got some leftover loos rolls and an empty washing up liquid bottle that might do the trick...
I'm American.
Haha, so I have an excuse to not know what a loo is?
Well I know what it was, just diddnt think about it.
I thought it would have been spent Lui haha
Your just jealous that you're not as awesome as me.
(And my megaman avatar )
Oh heard of a loo. I figured it would be spelled lieu or leu or something. Didn't put 2 and 2 together. I thought maybe it was a tootsie roll or something.
Strangely I used a roll of toilet paper in my wii controller mockup:
Not as confused as I was that time in france when I took a dump in the louvre. I thought the mona lisa was a bit too nice of a decoration for a bathroom stall.
