Just look in your Wii Message Board mail about that Wii Shop Channel update. It says so. :p
I've heard a bit about a couple of WiiWare games, specifically Lost Winds and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, My Life as a King, or something along those lines...
Lost Winds is supposed to be pretty interesting from what I hear. The idea is that you're controlling two entities at once: The Wind, and the Brown Haired guy I sadly forget the name of. The Wii Remote is the wind, and the Nunchuk Attachment is the Brown Haired guy. Wind, obviously, is a big part of the game, and you have to use it to your advantage in each stage. Here (http://wii.ign.com/articles/853/853353p1.html)'s a link to IGN's first look from GDC.
The other I immediately thought of a few seconds ago, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King follows the story of a young boy whom inherits the kingdom from his supposedly dead father. I've not really read up on the story, but that's what I gathered from the English Trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31167.html). From what I gather, it's a Sim type game, in which you must construct the kingdom. But I honestly have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'm going to read up on how the game works really quick.
It seems like I was correct. There is a set story, but through it, you are creating a town. The idea is that rather than being one of the heroes of the story, you're one of the not so important characters, I.E., the King. The guy that gave you that awesomesauce bridge. You create buildings with magic. :p
According to IGN as of March 10th, these 9 games will be available to download in Japan in 5 days, on March 25th.

It's good to see Nintendo allow developers to release new games through their Wii Shop Channel, rather than buy the ability to use their older games and put them on whenever they feel good and ready. The fact that Square is releasing a game for it so early is good, at least. But it seems that if these games become popular, the Wii's little amount of space will be a problem.
