“You know, I can always say, there are more great Mario games coming, more great games coming from Nintendo. Mr. Miyamoto is such a creative genius and, you know, he’s a great leader too because everybody that gets on board is like, ‘Let’s go.’…Create the best games we can. So I know there’s always lots of fun coming around the corner.”

Nintendo has been well-known for its lack of enthusiasm when it comes to game demos. However, it looks as though Nintendo may be changing its tune. At the most recent Q&A session of Nintendo’s Semi-annual Financial Results Briefing, company president Satoru Iwata indicated that demos of upcoming WiiWare titles will be introduced. And in fact, Iwata hinted that gamers may even see the first demos sometime this month. This is sort of an experiment for now, though, and and it isn’t entirely clear if Nintendo will continue to release additional demos.

The president hopes that this move will encourage Wii owners to become more involved with the Wii Shop Channel. Iwata told investors at the Q&A sessions that sales of digital downloads haven’t been a huge hit yet.
