A guided tour of the Nintendo Channel

The DS demos could cost me money. Could also be brilliant ways to fill a few hours if want to try out a new game. How big are the demos, such as a level or a few minigames etc, or slightly larger?

The DS demos are like the ones in the DS Download Stations in stores.

It's generally a full level. Or sometimes is the full game, but time based.

What would be the point in playing a VC game within the range of your wireless network?

Once the game/demo is downloaded to the DS it stays put until you shut it off. Sleep mode wouldn't erase it. I did this with Animal Crossing NES games and the GBA often enough that I still like the idea for the Wii & DS.

Same here. I wouldn't buy it without trying it, so this is ideal. Maybe using SD cards, we can has wii demoz too plz?

The NG:DS demo has 3 difficulties, just beat one and you get to get the next difficulty.

Again:

This Channel was released since last year in Japan. So, 2007.

Could be worse, you could have 125 blocks free, forcing you to delete stuff just for that one damn extra block of space needed.

It's all a conspiracy, man!

remember NintendoPower and Ninty's Official Seal of Quality?? that was Nintendo's way of promoting their own games--and was EXTREMELY successful. the "recommendations" thing is BS--that's easy marketing tabulations for nintendo--that's something most companies would have to pay people for.

If I recommend a game to someone it's by word-of-mouth or I lend them the game, I don't waste my time filling out stupid forms.

heck, that's why Amazon.com is so successful--they use marketing programs and customer feedback to make recommendations for other things you might like/want and then you purchase those things too.

and for the record, MS is still the MS of this generation. Nintendo's online component is free, I don't know which online game you're playing that you claim is "broken" but MarioKart and SSBB run just fine. and ALL THREE (Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo) gaming companies get away with LOTS of crap--ie-how much money have you put into extra controllers/rechargeable battery packs/etc??


the VC works just fine--you buy and download classic games--about the ONLY problem with the Wii is the lack of dedicated HardDrive and the ridiculous nonsense with the friend codes and lack of voice support--but really I don't want to hear ppl's screams of me being a cheater when I win a race in MK or a bunch of off-color remarks about my mom and BS like that.
