Tom Prata, project boss at of America, has told IGN this week that in the region of 100 new games are in development.

"Currently, there are about 100 games in development for WiiWare at various stages of completion," he revealed in a new interview.

The WiiWare channel is now out globally, offering developers a platform through which to release new original titles, too small or risky for a full-scale disc-based launches, and too new for the Virtual Console.

"Consumers have the option of either deleting the game and downloading it again for no additional Wii Points, or transferring the game from Wii to external SD memory card," Prata added when pressed on the Wii's storage 'issues'.

More WiiWare as we download it.
