Nintendo Offering WiiWare Demos Today

By Ishaan . November 16, 2009 . 8:08am

Today marks the debut of Nintendo’s demo test program, which they hope will help boost sales of WiiWare games. The first batch of demos is actually a pretty good line-up of games: World of Goo, NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits, Bit. Trip Beat, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord and Pokémon Rumble.

Strange that they’d put World of Goo up there but omit LostWinds; both games seem to enjoy a similar level of popularity on WiiWare. Replacing Pokémon with a Monkey Island demo would have been nice, too.

YUS~! Finally a Bit.Trip Beat demo! This'll be very handy for friends who have heard my rantings about that game, but want to try it before plunking down the $5. =P

Ok, and this is worthy of being news? Seriously Isshan, the only thing that makes this news is that Nintendo didn't get with the program 3 years ago like the competition. Every single XBLA game has a playable demo and always has.

Yeah, totally. The list of demos is news. Perhaps, some readers missed out on World of Goo, My Life as a Darklord or NyxQuest and they want to give them a go. I haven't played NyxQuest so I'll at least try now that there's a demo.

Actually that one is worth buying. So is Castlevania if Konami and Nintendo ever get the damn thing out.

UVERoo

Yes this is still worthy news. I didnt know about this until I read it here so I thank him for this.
You sound annoyed with Nintendo but are taking out on the writer of this article not good.
