Majesco announced that they're making a shmup based on
TUMIKI Fighters called Blasterworks for the Wii. Blasterworks,
as seen here on IGN, has a very stylized look, though I can't say it impresses me too much, where the players go through "15 land, air, and sea-based stages." There is also two-player cooperative mode and a defend the fort mode where the player uses the wiimote as a gun turret.
Also,
according to IGN UK, Nintendo announced that there will be a WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel for distribution of original game content from both large and small developers. Hopefully this will give life to some cool new innovative games like on XBLA.
