The Wii desperately needs this. There are countless people that have downloaded a game and not liked it, and then... NO REFUND.

Not happening. How can you demo a Virtual Console game without specifically writing a demo for it? It's impossible since they're using roms.

For WiiWare it's "possible", though highly unlikely.

What about the classics demos on Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

Those are 2/3 minute demos. Sure, they work for Super Mario Bros and F-Zero - you're thrown right into the action from the start. If you're demo'ing an RPG or anything that starts slow, then people are going to be turned off.

They could demo a battle and a bit of the open world.

Even for an RPG, how can you justify 60 minutes on a demo? But then again, what justifies the time limit on a demo?

I would guess how long you need to get the "feel" for the game.
