As the we comb through the news coming out of the Fall 2007 Nintendo Conference in Japan, we seem to hearing about more goodies as the day goes on, and the latest bit we've found brings some details of an upcoming DS demo download service for the Wii.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced that the Japanese will soon have the ability to grab DS game demos from their Nintendo Wii. Before this, DS owners would have to seek out a DS download station to get demos, and those demos would disappear after the system was shut down. Now they'll be able to get countless demos from the comfort of their own homes, not having to worry about the power-down deletion anymore.
We're not sure if this feature is Japan-only or not. Hopefully Nintendo can help us move closer to our dream of never leaving the house again.

Hopefully there will be a Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword demo, I'd like to try that before I spend the money.
This would be really nice though, because seeking out those stations in the wild is tough. Should you bring your portable on the go? I say no!
Kidding aside, this could be really nice - as long as we get some demo action in the US as well.
Anyway cool feature, took them long enough to get it sorted and yes VC demos would be nice and Wiiware demo's are a must!
Also...we need a hard drive. Now.
Then give us a hard drive, games that aren't mini-game collections, online that works, and a PBJ sammich.
