Nintendo WiiWare Demo Service Hits Today
Three titles ready and waiting for your thorough testing.
Nintendo has announced the launch of WiiWare Demos, which give players a nice little teaser of a select number of games from the digital download service. The Download Demo Service starts today, so fire up your Wii and start trying those interesting titles already.
The demos on offer include Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A Darklord, which gives you access to six levels as you play the daughter of a Darklord, sworn to protect your tower's Dark Crystal from invaders. Gaijin Games' BIT.TRIP BEAT is also available in free-to-try form, allowing you to give the first level of this addictive rhythm arcade game a go. Finally, NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits rounds off the demos you can try today, playing an adventure in ancient Greece looking for a lost friend.
Considering the sheer wealth of WiiWare titles on offer, having three demos probably doesn't sound like much, but you take what you can get. We'd be quick about it though, because Nintendo tell us that the free demos will only be available from 16th November 2009 to 31st January 2010.
If you get lost looking for the specific section, here's where you can find it; from the Wii Shop Channel, dive into the WiiWare section, then choose to Search by Genre. You'll see a Demos genre that you can select and try out the games on offer.

Why a demo section? It would make more sense just to have a demo button on the main page for the games in the Shop Channel; at the moment you just have buy or info buttons, can't be that hard to stick a demo button in the middle.

This sounds like a typical harf-arse Nintendo toe in the online waters approach to stuff the other do all too well.
