WiiWare, the new downloadable games service for the Wii, will be hitting U.S. consoles on May 12th. It’s been rumored that WiiWare will break away from the Wii Shop Channel… where it currently resides and get it’s own “block” on the consoles Wii Menu.

Wii.Kombo talks about some of the upcoming game titles for the WiiWare channel…

Some confirmed titles in development for WiiWare include Dr. Mario & Bacteria Extermination, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land, Bomberman (no downloadable service is complete without it), and a Pokemon-centric channel.

With the release of WiiWare on the 12th and Wii Fit on the 19th… May is shaping up to be a busy month for the console.
