In what’s seen as an inevitable but welcomed move, Nintendo have announced that Wii owners with an Internet connection will be now able to download and consume new playable Wii game demo’s.
The intriguing yet-to-be-announced demo’s can be stored onto either the systems internal 512 Flash memory, or via a seperate SD memory card depending on where you wish to stash the data.
Although Nintendo themselves have yet to confirm which demo titles will be initially available, many gamers are embracing the notion that integral system releases such as the spectacular Metroid Prime: Corruption, will be available in the not too distant future.
Now that’s good news!
How’s everything sickr?
Later!
They will inevitably have to make the game demos smaller than 512MB, so I wonder how in-depth and long these demos will be? You could probably get a pretty decent one in that size, but since they have to assume that most people only have 512MB, so they are forced to keep them small. I guess we’ll see soon enough. :)
Very nifty this, although, as you said, inevitable.
I would like Mario Galaxy more than Metroid :P
Yay! This is awsome news!
I’m very good ‘Sycho4u, thanks very much for asking :)
How’s life now you’ve received the elusive Wii?
With regards to the topic at hand, like ‘Ahrenba’ pointed out they’re going to have to decide just how expansive the initial demo’s are set to be, due to the storage medium having a some-what limited capacity. Though this will without a doubt help boost sales of of Sandisks SD Cards.
;)
Thank god, i’m glad the Wii is bringing this stuff to the table. It’d be good to get a taste of games like the 360 offers. Lets hope this is soon.
it’s a great step for Nintendo that I see bringing in tons of revenue. I can’t wait to be able to test out wii games before I buy em. Way to go Nintendo!
Nice news bit. I know I am stoked for it.
I hope Mario Galaxy will be on the the starting lineup for demos!
will the demos be console locked
i have a psp and a wii the psp has alot of demos that are long with good graphics that only take 30 mb or less so nintendo should have no problem making demos for the wii
512 mb memory card or internal memory
yeah and in the future (now) IT’S ONLY A PREVEIW
Now… it’s been over 15 months… and I haven’t seen anything about this since.
well its taking ages and where can i get them?
Pretty much been waiting for two years now, please fact-check your stories, are you sure Nintendo actually announced anything like that?
Umm i think this was the nintendo channel im not sure but i think thats what this was talkig about as you can get ds demos off it
Win some lose some. These draconian usage policies drive me batty. Just follow the letter of the law and download without breaking intellectual property laws:
