Demo Channel from Nintendo

[Shripe]

Demos would be sweet.. I'm not even bothering with downloading the MP3 stuff, because I hate just the videos >.<

 

[supersujay]

some on just told me this is fake there is no demo channel and will never come out does any one if this is true or not?

i can see this going horribly wrong.....
either takes up a bomb of room, or us only. either way seems i'm screwed

then just delete the demo after you played it and you'll have space back

Exactly.
If you look at 360 demos, they are not much above 1 Gig, so we could just put the demos on sd cards.
If people want demos, i'm sure they could splash out on a cheap sd card.

I can't wait, but can't understand why it has taken them soooooo long!!

 

[Giga-Bowser]

I still don't believe him.

He hasn't got a link or a source - why would I beleive him? :/

We will have to get some serious storage to store Wii demo's, that tiny 512mb inside won't be enough and not everyone has an SD card.

Well no, but an SD card would be a lot cheaper than an HDD, don't you think?

to ds or wii???

 

[warorface]

The Demo channel is not going to exist
All the demos will be availaible from Wiiware @ Wii shop channel

It's Unconfirmed but theres going to be a Demo Channel

Yay Nintendo they answered our needs

Does not compute?

Hope you are right anyway, but we will need some kind of support for HDD.
Or, of course, as someone wrote in the thread, we can use SD card for storage of demos. But i think an update with support for HDD will be better so you can choose if you want to save the demo on a SD card and delete it every time you want a new demo (cheaper) or have all demos on a HDD (more expensive).

 

[Shripe]

I'd definitely prefer the SD card option.. I already have a card, so no purchasing a HD.

Just wondering...

Why are you making so big number of disk space? If there is going to be demo channel (which would be great) I bet that demos don't take so much space because demos are demos and propably you are allowed to play like 1 level or something.

Do you really want to spare it? For one level or two.

I look forward to this demo channel. But will it be for free or will hyou have to pay with wii points to download a demo?
