So apparently the DS downloads that are offered on the Wii's Nintendo Channel are time exclusive. Already Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is gone away. Act fast to check out the demos people!

I tried Spiderwick Chronicles and Iron Man today. Spiderwick is a RPG lite with turn based combat that has you draw attacks. Sorta boring and short. Iron Man was a bit better, it's a free roaming shmupr, that involves taking out targets to accomplish your mission.

Iron Man got crapped on in reviews.

I enjoyed the Iron Man demo. However, I could see how the full game would get incredibly boring really fast. It's basically just fly to point A, kill a bunch of stuff, fly to point B, kill a bunch of stuff, wash, rinse, repeat.

No, no, do a double take and you will see it is the 3rd party games that are timed, the Nintendo stuff do not have a date on them. Plus they added Brain Age 1 when before it only had Brain Age 2. (both of which I will be ignoring thank you very much.) wait which one has that DR. Mario mini game? I want that one.

Brain Age 2 has "Virus Buster," but I doubt that's in the demo.

I hope that Nintendo's adding of Brain Age foreshadows more demos of older games, such as (wait for it...) Elite Beat Agents.

I do think the timestamps on the 3rd Party games are a bit odd... makes it seem more like an ad. Still, cool that the Apollo Justice demo is up.

It wasn't Brain Age 2 was the demo I tried. Then I watched the video of the first game and decided they are not for me.

Why was Ninja Gaiden taken off so fast, never got to download and try it out.

Anything new this week, I haven't had time to check my Wii.

vudu · « **Reply #8 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:53:57 PM »

It's the same games that were up the first week (Ninja Gaiden, Cooking Mama, Jam With The Band, etc.).

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:58:05 PM »

It's not Jam With The Band, it is called Jam Sessions. Maxi it that create fun sentences. Not trying to be a picky bitch, just letting ya know.

vudu · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2008, 03:03:38 PM »

Thanks for the correction. I knew it was Jam something.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2008, 03:12:41 PM »

It's cool. I enjoy the demo just because I could use that to find stuff to recreate on my guitar. But it is a complete non-game, no scoring of any kind here.

I tried Raving Rabids, it was very shallow.

WHAT? A COLLECTION OF MINI GAMES SHALLOW? NEVA

vudu · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2008, 04:27:29 PM »

Actually it was just one mini game. I played it three times. It didn't get any better the second or third time.

I'm glad that Nintendo is rehosting demos periodically, but so far there have just been the two sets of demos with nothing new added. Also, I find it strange that all the demos are for games that have already been released. On the upside, it's very promising that we are seeing demos from these third-parties... shows that Nintendo has explained how to make demos to a wide array of companies.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #16 on:** June 09, 2008, 02:22:30 AM »

I tried the Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer demo. Abysmal.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 09, 2008, 02:27:08 AM »

Ya I played that for < 1 minutes.

D_Average · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2008, 06:35:39 PM »

Arkanoids is up. I played it and realized why I never like it, its a glorified version of Pong. Boring.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #19 on:** June 15, 2008, 06:59:18 PM »

Actually I'm pretty sure It's a glorified version of Breakout, not Pong.

Yes, but Pong begot Breakout, similar to the way Colbert' begot Huckabee.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 16, 2008, 01:53:29 PM »

It's not even even glorified breakout. It's just breakout

KDR_11k · « **Reply #22 on:** June 16, 2008, 03:18:51 PM »

The Ninja Gaiden DS demo is up, seems quite nice.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 16, 2008, 03:20:14 PM »

Didn't I already play that?

vudu · « **Reply #24 on:** June 16, 2008, 08:51:24 PM »

I just beat the large word search in the Crosswords demo. That thing took me 57 minutes to complete. My brain felt like mush after completing it. Anyone else beat it?
