Today has seen the launch of the new download demo service for PAL region Wii's. There are three demos now available for download, and will stay that way until January 31st 2010.

The WiiWare games now with free versions are as follows:

 •  Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord - featuring 6 levels.
 •  Bit.Trip Beat - sample of first level available.
 •  NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits - enjoy the entirety of the first level.

These demos are available now for free download from the Wii Shop Channel. Access them on the recommdations page while they're still there, or browse genres and select "demo".

Will there be more demos joining these three soon, or will we have to wait until next year for the next lot, if there is a next lot?

North America will be getting this titles + demos of Pokémon Rumble and World of Goo. Japan's demos are FFCC: My Life as a Darklord, World of Goo, Pokémon Rumble and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad

WiiWare demo service now started Comments

About time. If advertised correctly this could increase Wiiware consumption and revenue for developers and Nintendo.

I know there have been a couple of games I haven't been willing to drop a money ball on due to uncertainty but being able to trial them with a demo will definitely encourage me to buy the title if I enjoy it.
i do like free stuff
btw if u download stuff form the shop channel do u HAVE to update your wii? coz i never go on it lol
coolies. Might try bit trip and FF. Never played a FF game *dons flame suit*
