Nintendo will offer demo versions of select video games for its
WiiWare™ downloadable game service starting Nov. 22. Wii™ owners with a
broadband Internet connection will be able to visit the Wii Shop
Channel to access demo versions of WiiWare games without using up any
Wii Points™. The demos will allow people to sample a wide selection of
games to help them decide which ones best suit their tastes.
The initial lineup of demos available on Nov. 22 includes BIT.TRIP FATE, And Yet It Moves, ThruSpace™ and Jett Rocket. Additional demos will be added on Mondays and each will remain available on the Wii Shop Channel for a limited time.
WiiWare
game demos are just the latest addition to the wide variety of
information and entertainment options available to Wii owners. Wii
owners can access various channels on the Wii Menu, including the
Nintendo® Channel, which offers information about and videos of current
and upcoming games for Nintendo systems. Likewise, Wii owners who are
also Netflix members with a qualifying plan can instantly watch movies
and TV shows streamed directly to their TVs once they have downloaded
Netflix from the Wii Shop Channel.
