WiiWare Demos Available November 22

Nintendo plans to relaunch the WiiWare demo service this Monday and this time it appears to be staying.

After a year-long hiatus, WiiWare Demos are finally making a comeback. There are four planned titles ready for a launch this Monday: BIT.TRIP FATE, And Yet It Moves, ThruSpace and Jett Rocket. The service also appears to be back for good this time around as the e-mail Nintendo sent out this morning states that "additional demos will be added on Mondays and each will remain available on the Wii Shop Channel for a limited time". Great news for those curious about current titles.

BIT.TRIP FATE

There is no telling if these demos will continue to function so long as you keep them stored on your system as the previous ones do or if Nintendo will use the Wii's download ticket time stamp feature to lock them down the road. Either way, the demos are free of charge so there is nothing stopping a person from trying them all. This could lead to a number of previously missed quality titles returning to the spotlight.

People, get these demos. If anything, it will convince Nintendo that game demos for the 3DS(ware/VC/games itself) will be worth it. DO IT.

I plan on downloading them all just to do it even if the game doesn't interest me. I want the option to play them after the demos are gone like with the previous demos. And this time I don't own any of them unlike the last batch where the only one I didn't own was the Pokemon game.
