This week marks the launch of WiiWare, a series of cheap, downloadable Nintendo games created mostly by independent developers. The debut lineup includes LostWinds (in which you control the weather to protect a Mario-like protagonist) and a trivia game called TV Show King, but the best is yet to come. This summer's releases include Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (pictured), an attitudinal (and sarcastically titled, we think) adventure based on a Web cartoon about a kid who wears a Mexican wrestler's mask. (Imagine Cartman doing Lucha Libre.) Better yet, the games go for a recession-friendly ten bucks a pop.
