Nintendo Planning to Release WiiWare Demos
Nintendo of Japan president, Satoru Iwata, has revealed plans to trial demos for a selection of WiiWare games in the Land of the Rising Sun.
The program will be run on a trail basis in an attempt to bring more awareness to WiiWare titles. Apparently, the Wii Shopping Channel is currently only used by gamers in the know. While this would include most of you - reading this - it does not include a large percentage of Wii owners; gamers who don't go out and seek information about upcoming games themselves.
In classic Nintendo fashion Iwata doesn't actually believe demos will help boast sales. The Big N have been reluctant to release demos of their games in the past, despite it being a very successful venture for Microsoft and Sony. At least they're willing to give it a crack now, but it's a shame it won't be for full retail releases. At least not yet.
