cynamite.de — Wii owners with Internet connection will be able to download demo versions of Wii games. The rumor existed for a long time but now it's official. Demos to be stored on Internal 512MB memory or external memory (SD card or USB hard drive). Nintendo will reveal soon which will be the first demos.

God, never EVER buy an SD card from Best Buy, or any brick-and-mortar store for that matter. You can ALWAYS find it cheaper online. Me and my friend bought the same camera last year, and we both bought 2GB SD cards. I paid $20, and she paid $140. I bought from newegg, and she bought from Best Buy. If only she'da asked me first...

I'm sure that Wii Demos can fit in 512MB as DS demos can fit in 4MB.

That's the last lamer Wii-hating flamebait comment I read from you, gxcdesign. Make yourself comfortable on my block list. And please make a new year's resolution to get a life, hmmm?

Quoting myself: "Anorhc: Why not? Big games get"wtf? Digg butchered that comment..Anyways, what I meant to say was:Why not? Big games get small demos all the time, I've hardly ever seen any over 600 MB in size for PC (apart from the ones that are simply time-limited versions of the whole game), and that's full-DVD size games like need for speed carbon & such. That said, I do realize that there are some big demos out there, but that's beside the point. I hope someday Nintendo will allow the use of usb mass storage devices (thumb drives & portable hard drives).. and not limit the support of them to official nintendo branded ones.But, I do see your point. 512MB isn't much, and with the size of most decent demos in mind (say, 200-500MB), you're not going to fit more than 1-2 on the wii at a time without memory expansion (hopefully that means you WILL be able to store them on a SD memory card for the time being)By the way, at the current point in time (with limited internet speeds).. having to download a HUGE demo isn't very convenient for some people, and no, not just dialup users; cable/dsl too.

these demos are not HD. 512mb is enough.

@Panzerfinder15Thanks,Actually I speak German because I was born there (now I live in spain)... Well, whatever, I just had to sum it up a little bit to fit the description.

We are talking about Wii games. PC games, which are much more complex, more content, more details, and higher resolution, run in the 500mb range and up If the Wii demos are that large I would guess that it has more to do with how optimized the game code is, or rather lack of.
