WiiCade announced that it is going to offer online multiplayer gaming.

Basically, WiiCade has launched its own WiFi service that enables online multiplayer support for Flash and Javascript games. The launch comes with two titles, one a Flash-based chess game and the other a Javascript-based Tetris game.

————————————-

The first title released is a Chess game known as WiiCade Chess. This title supports all the classic rules of Chess, thus allowing you and a friend to compete locally or online. Local multiplayer supports sharing a Wii Remote or using two Wii Remotes, thus ensuring that you’ll never need to reach for your Chess board again!

The second title is an action puzzle title that is a variation on the classic falling blocks formula. Pentriix pits you and a friend against each other to see who can withstand the four or five block falling pieces the longest. Throw garbage rows at your opponent to increase the challenge and make him fail faster! With three different game modes, highscores, and an offline practice mode, Pentriix provides a thrilling challenge for players of all ages and skill levels.
