Rumor: WiiWare demos to return this month
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.
