Demos Coming to WiiWare

According to a recent Q&A with Iwata, Nintendo will be testing the possibility of bringing demos to WiiWare.

During a recent Q&A briefing, Satoru Iwata discussed the market for WiiWare and DSiWare titles, as well as a future idea that may increase interest in both.

According to IGN, Iwata stated that the market for both DSiWare titles and WiiWare titles is currently very small, as most people do not browse through the available titles since they usually know exactly what they want before entering either of the two stores.

In order to bring more users, and gain attention, Iwata announced that Nintendo will be starting a test program for WiiWare titles during some point in November. Though a good idea, Iwata admits that he doesn't think that this will be a solution to the problem.

Currently there is no official announcement or starting point for the project. Whether or not the demos will be exclusive to Japan is also unknown at this point in time.

I'll believe it when I see it.

This'll be good news, probably. Hopefully there's no sort of limitations, like how often demos are only available to premium users or people who by certain products.

After his first visit here, it wasn't long before a slew of new members arrived. The site came alive and the real story of PixlBit began - the one that involves all of you. The person I'm referring to is, of course, Michael Alvarado, otherwise known as Michael117.
