wiiware demo games? - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

wouldnt it be cool if there was free demo games, like the xbox, just to see if the game is good, just for 15 min. nintendo could do this to big, upcoming wii and wiiware games. downloadable cost=50 wii points. isnt this a good idea?

Demos would be cool but not charging for them. If they was to charge then Nintendo might as well turn into Microsoft.

LOL yea.... if Nintendo were to charge for demos wouldn't that take away the point of it being a demo? The whole point of a demo is to get you to try a game so you'll like enough to go buy it.... if you charge people for demos you'll turn them off.

Besides I think the big reason there isn't demos for Wii Ware games is because they're not exactally huge in size anyways so a demo might get you all the playing of a game you want without buying it.... if not made the right way.

Edit: I just read what he said (closer).... he said that the demos would be free it would just be the Wii Ware games that are 50 Wii Points.....

Well to that you gotta think 50 cents for a Wii Ware game especially a good one is a little too cheap for business isn't it? I mean they are a company so they gotta make their money from these games somewhere. XD

well if many people were to buy the demo for ex: gh metallica then 50 wii points can turn into 5,000 wii points quickly.

why in the heck would we pay for a downloadle demo of the game when we have to pay for the whole game if we like it....Paying for a downlable demo would not make sense at all....Most demos are free and I dont think that NINTENDO will force a charge on downlable demos when the force us to pay with wii points when we buy a VC or wiiware game....

I thought you said that the demo were free.... paying for demos just doesn't seem like my cup of tee and I know that I be less likely to even try the game if I had to pay for the demo..... that's what renting games is for! .__.

I like the idea. It would be like the DS Download Station on the Nintendo Channel.

hokieman · 02-28-2009, 11:40 AM

sorry...you dont have to pay for these demos once i think about it. still the demo thing is a good idea.i got carried away with the money thing.

I think it would be cool if Wii had demos. I am alwys leary about buying wiiware games unless I know about them.

There should be demo's for free. It gives people a feel for the game, and if they dont like it, they dont buy the full one. Simple.

Koopa Chrissy · 03-05-2009, 01:40 PM

Demos, would pretty cool but instead of Wiiware demos how about demos of actual Wii games!
