Amazon has begun selling codes for WiiWare titles via its US portal.

The first game code the site is offering is for 2D Boy’s critically acclaimed World of Goo.

The news comes shortly after Amazon launched an Xbox Live Store enabling users to purchase download codes for XBLA games.

Nintendo UK has told Edge that it has “no current plans” to strike a similar deal with Amazon’s UK portal.
