GameTrailers have a host of titles from the Nintendo Media Summit '08. Some StarWars and WiiWare stuff. WiiWare looks quite promising.

I'm surprised no-one else has commented so far, I tend to like to stay quiet these days (and was never that vocal), but some of the WiiWare stuff looks just about right to actually get me using my Wii again, if the quality overall can match up to the quality of a couple of the launch titles it could be a huge boon for Nintendo.
If you haven't got much time, check out the following stuff: Lost Winds, World of Goo and Strong Bad's Cool World for Attractive People.
Looks like really awesome stuff, IMO.
Lost Winds is a high class 2.5D platform puzzler. Wouldn't look out of place on the other platforms.

World of Goo is on PC isn't it? It certainly started in the PC indie world. Yep.
Again, quality is excellent.

I didn't get Cool Bad's...
As the Wiimote has mouse-like functionality, I can see Wiiware being an ideal choice for some indie PC ports. I wonder what the size of these titles will be though? I guess the Live Arcade cap is applicable, so Wii won't be at a disadvantage there, and due to potentially lower fidelity resources, you could fit more game into the same space. There aren't any release dates AFAIK. These are titles that will be be out, but at launch or months down the line.

Lost Winds is a (european?) launch title ... uhh whenever that is ...
