Just wondering, is there a difference between the WiiWare games and the physical games that you buy from stores?

Wii Ware games usually have limited capabilities, and are more cheap. Normal games can push the system to it's limits. This is because Wii ware games have to be downloaded which means less space to store the game.

ALSO--
most WiiWare games are developed by smaller 3rd Party companies, and Nintendo lets them release "experimental" games through the Shop Channel

Although some WiiWare games have been available on Disc in some retail stores

You copied the question from here, so why didn't you just read the answer there?

Quote:

Wiiware games are smaller, shorter, and cheaper, but certainly not worse quality most of the time. Where you can lend games to friends and vice versa with normal games, such is not possible with WiiWare. Wiiware games can also be updated, but this has yet to be done with a normal game. Lastly, you can only buy normal games with cash and WiiWare with Nintendo Points.
