They were only available for a limited time.

I agree that they should put up some new demos (hopefully this Christmas). What would be even better is if they put a demo for every game on WiiWare. Same for VC. They could do it like Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I highly doubt Nintendo will invest the time in doing that though.

Eventually Nintendo is going to get so lazy that no games will even be released or developed....they will just ask us to give them money for nothing. Then they will probably be too tired to collect our money. All they'll want to do is sleep. I've never seen Nintendo half things so badly as with this new Wii generation. It seems they want to do the absolute minimum necessary sometimes. Do we really need demos? Nahhh....ppl will still buy the games. Do we need to release any more Virtual Console games? Nahhh....why bother? Should we put videos on the Shop Channel so ppl can see what they are buying? Nahhh....I just don't feeeel like it. Talk about alot of wasted potential.

it's Nintendo's call, pogo, and they'll put more up if/when they want to. they never promised us any regular demo releases, they were just testing the waters.

I was late to the Wii party so I missed out. But on the bright side I guess I don't know what I was missing.

It's easy to call names when your on the other end of it and have no idea what it's like over there.

This is just a guess, but they might make another appearance this holiday season. I would love to see the demos again.

I'm back (for the moment)!

The demos were a test by Nintendo to see how well they would work (and probably how profitable they would be), and were therefore only available for a short time. It seems to me that it was fairly successful, so I was expecting to have a full demo servive by now.
I guess they might be holding it back till the Wii 2, but I hope we'll get it sooner.

Okay, not even the PS3 and the Xbox have demos for EVERY game. So what makes you think that the Wii might do that?

Why do people point to their wrists when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Really? I thought for sure XBLA would have a demo for every game. (Dunno 'bout PS3)

Arcade does have demos for every game, and so do Indie Games.
