What happened to idea of DS and Wii game demos via the Wii Internet Channel
Stumbled across an old article here at Hexus and then after a little google, news had broken out that soon (1 year ago) a demo channel would be available for the Wii for download demos to the DS and hopefully the Wii....
An image is even available of the demo channel icon, or is this another photoshopped thing.... Wii demo downloads whilst you sleep HEXUS.gaming - Headline :: Wii demo downloads whilst you sleep : Page - 1/1
 from Revealed: Wii demo as Download | WiiNintendo What happened? |

But is the idea still flying around? or was Hexus misled as well!

Re: What happened to idea of DS and Wii game demos via the Wii Internet Channel
When I saw the Metroid 3 channel in the Wii shop I thought it was a playable demo! Turned out to just be a crappy collection of videos and stuff
 Not sure about playable demos of big-budget games, but Nintendo announced that some indy games would be appearing for free/small charge on the VC Wiiware channel (simliar to Xbox Live Arcade, I think). |

Re: What happened to idea of DS and Wii game demos via the Wii Internet Channel
Was sooo disappointed with the Metroid 3 "channel" - just a cheap advert in a youtube stylee.
I also remember the idea ofthe Wii becoming a DS demo station. All in all a bit disappointing, it wouldnt cost nintendo much and would really broaden the appeal of the brand. |

Re: What happened to idea of DS and Wii game demos via the Wii Internet Channel
They have just rolled out the 'Everybodys Nintendo' channel in Japan which offers DS demo downloads through the Wii, it also offers videos and information on release dates. They haven't announced yet when it will come to Europe but it will happen one day, probably in a few months.
I was also a bit disappointed with the Metroid channel as well so lets hope this will be better. |
