It's just been 3 straight Wiiware games a week. 3 Worthless games that I doubt anyone is buying or caring about.

I'd call Nintendo a bunch of names, but maybe they've finally realized that the old school gamers only care about the classics, and they'll just release the classics when they can. I don't know.

Exactly, the rest is trash though.

Last week on the VC you guys got Pulseman for the Genesis. FUCKING PULSEMAN. Previously Sega Channel-only 'til now, and one of the best looking games on the system. Totally worth the 900 points.

Also, DSiWare rage: Nintendo, where is my fucking Flipnote Studio? Also, someone PLEASE put a REAL GAME on the service. You know, something that I'll actually think about blowing my 800 free points on.

Well, maybe Nintendo is planning something big with the absence with the lack of new Virtual Console titles. Maybe either Super Smash Bros. or Yoshi's Island.

On a side note, I downloaded Pulseman in the day it was released. It is truly worth the Wii Points in my opinion.

Random Fact: Pulseman was co-produced with Sega by Game Freak, which is one of the Pokemon companies.

I think they need to release some of the Super Scope and Zapper games. Battle Clash, Metal Combat and Bazooka would be a great games to play again, and with an online match set up, there would be some intense giant Mech Combat Smile

I would love to play Yoshi's Safari with the Wiimote. I don't give a damn how mediocre it is.

That would play out very nicely with IR input.

I agree with that post. After all, the Super Scope doesn't work with an LCD HDTV.

Hey, it's not mediocre. Yoshi's Safari is one of the most underrated games ever. Wink

Awesome! Too bad I already own it. I'd really like them to go get Day of the Tentacle. That's the only game I don't own since I don't want to bog down my computer with old software.

I'm gonna grab this, stoked to say the least.

Nintendo Planning To Offer WiiWare Demos

There are a whole lot of WiiWare games out there, and quite a large number of them are downright awful. If you're worried the game you're looking at is a piece of junk rather than a gem though, Nintendo will soon be here to help you out.

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata told investors that WiiWare demos are on the way at a Q&A session during a recent earnings briefing (via IGN). They'll begin with a test program that will cover a few titles, which will launch later thi month.

According to Iwata, the market for WiiWare and DSiWare games is currently small, with buyers only visiting the Wii Shopping Channel when they know what they want to buy. Nintendo hopes that demos will prompt more people to spend their time browsing titles.

Nintendo hasn't officially announced the demo program, so there are no real specifics yet. But it shouldn't be along before you can find out just how good a given WiiWare game is before you buy it.

its about time they start offering demos

About fucking time, seriously, you get like one tiny screen shot and a shitty ass description which usually just tells you how to play. Really? You want me to buy this based on that?

Posted: Nov 05 2009 01:16 am

Wasn't the Nintendo Channel supposed to offer game demos? Never DLed it due to pre-SD space issues...

Also, they need to improve the speed of the shop channel. It's so fucking slow, I wouldn't bother downloading demos. If I don't buy a game when it's just released, I don't buy it all, because the shop channel is too tedious to navigate.

the nintendo channel gives you demos for the DS only. you're supposed to sync up your DS or DS lite and get demos, but i never tried it myself.

I've done it but it's really finicky. It's like a test to see if you do it right, I think you're supposed to get the Wii to start transmitting the data prior to you clicking the Wireless button thing on the DS.

The original Metal Gear game for the MSX home computer has been added to the Japanese Virtual Console lineup and is scheduled to be released sometime this month.
