Nintendo to release WiiWare demos as test

Yes, you heard right… Nintendo is going to offer demos of WiiWare games! But before you get too excited, let me give you the full details. In the recent Financial Results Briefing in Japan, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said that they would begin releasing demos of WiiWare games sometime this month, but just for a few games. This will be done as a test to see if it will get more people to start using the Wii Shop Channel. Iwata doesn’t think demos will help much, but Nintendo is going to try it anyways.

Keep in mind though that this was just mentioned by Iwata and there was no official announcement with a press release or anything, so we don’t have the full details. There’s a chance it could only be for Japan, and we don’t have an official start date aside from sometime this month. Hopefully we’ll get more details soon.
