Nintendo may be changing that with this week's updates to the Nintendo Channel. There are two new DS demos: Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir and Spore Creatures. This in itself would be an unusually good update to the channel, but Nintendo is actually advertising the new demos in the titles of gameplay trailers that accompany these games. You still need to click the "Find More Titles For You" menu to download the demos, but at least Nintendo is making it clear that new demos have been added.
Also interesting is the video trailer for Super Mario RPG, which just launched on Virtual Console today. This is the first time Nintendo has used Nintendo Channel to promote a specific game on Virtual Console. It's also a significant new source of information on Virtual Console releases, which Nintendo typically promotes only through the "Wii-kly Update" press release and a couple of tiny screenshots on their press site. Long-time Nintendo fans probably don't need to watch a video before downloading Super Mario RPG, but trailers could be very informational for more obscure games on the service.
Though not as atypical as the above features, the new gameplay trailers for Moon, de Blob, and Dokapon Kingdom may also be of interest for Nintendo's non-casual fans.
Spore Creatures you just make your creature, if you attempt to move end of demo.

So it's like the PC Spore Creature Creator?
