Check out the first details on the Wii U eShop straight out of Japan.

The Wii U eShop, available in an update when the system launches, will feature game demos and HD videos, according to Nintendo Co., Ltd.'s official website.

It is unclear if every game will have a demo, but the page does say that demos will be available. The HD-quality videos and images will also be on the eShop, highlighting different games. Those videos and images can be viewed on the GamePad.

Your Mii characters and Wii Shop Points will not be left stranded on a desert console.
