This information comes from Satoru Iwata, who was asked if Nintendo is still working on big titles for Wii and mentioned that there hasn’t been any talk about the Wii Vitality Sensor recently…

“Of course, we want to release original titles, but in order to release new games, we must continue developing them.”

Iwata noted that time is necessary to guarantee that a title will be of high-quality and that the obstacles for original projects are rather high. Furthermore, he explained that the company needs to balance what is “interesting” and “easy to understand.” Other than that, Iwata neglected to talk about the Wii Vitality Sensor, though you may remember that we came across the WiiRelax trademark, as well as a plethora of details.

Coming straight from our friends over at Cosmonaut Games is information regarding their latest game, the strategy/action title “Inkub”. According to Cosmonaut Game’s José Giacomelli, the game has passed its testing phase and should be available to download within a few weeks.

For those that aren’t aware, Cosmonaut Games is the same company behind the WiiWare title Dive: The Medes Island Secret, which I found fantastic as per my video review of the title. Keep it on your radar!

Well, that was quick. We already have a confirmation that WiiWare demos are on the way once again. It seems that Nintendo might be supporting the program much more this time around, as the press release below states that “the line-up is constantly kept refreshed.” We’ll see what Nintendo has to say about demos in North America next week, hopefully!

Wii SHOP CHANNEL LAUNCHES NEW SERVICE: ONGOING WiiWARE DEMOS FOR EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD

WiiWare demos join a host of new games available for download on WiiWare & Nintendo DSiWare this Friday

This week sees the launch of a new service added to the Wii Shop Channel, in the form of ongoing downloadable WiiWare demos. Containing a taster of the full version of a WiiWare game, WiiWare demos offer players the ability to trial select WiiWare games without using up any of their Wii Points, giving players the enjoyment of testing out the game before ultimately deciding whether to download the full version of the game or not using their Wii Points.

Every WiiWare demo featured on the Wii Shop Channel will be available for a limited time only ensuring the line-up is constantly kept refreshed to provide players with a varied and entertaining experience. Players will be able to see the WiiWare demos currently available for download via a dedicated list on wiiware.nintendo.co.uk as well as on the Wii Shop Channel itself.

First off, I want to make a quick note of our Goldeneye contest- great support so far! I’ll take article submissions for a few more days (the ones I’ve gotten so far are fantastic!), but the commenting piece of the contest ends tomorrow! Best of luck to all of you!

I’m a proud Wii owner. Even with a lot of my friends making fun of the system and talking of the betrayal by Nintendo, I stick by that cheap little white piece of plastic like it’s my conjoined twin. Why? Because I love it, I love the games, and I love Nintendo. There is really nothing like beating a Zelda game, nothing like traversing tens of levels in a Mario Bros. game, nothing like exploring the emptiness of the sci-fi Metroid world, and nothing like bringing some friends together for some of the fun that can be had with the various local co-op games Nintendo brings to the table. It is for these reasons that I think many hardcore gamers own the Wii and own it proudly; we love our system, and want it to be treated with the same respect that the other systems get. We expect that a third party developer won’t announce a Wii exclusive game, and then port it to other systems, water down their Wii games to “appeal” to us, or cancel Wii versions of games due to system limitations.

The WiiWare demo program, although successful, was strangely halted in North America and Europe after just one batch was released. Wii owners were able to test out titles such as World of Goo and Bit.Trip Beat for a few months, but the sample downloads were removed towards the end of January. It seems the program may be making a return, however.

A number of different WiiWare developers have apparently told NintendoLife that the Big N recently started accepting submissions for a new wave of demos. It seems that the downloads will remain on the Wii Shop Channel until Christmas, at the very least. Hopefully this is a sign that we’ll start seeing demos more frequently in the future.
