HURRAY!!!!!! but this kinda threw me off
"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."
usb hard drive....since when?
*GASP!* darkwiing's right!! ohpleaseohpleaseohplease firmware goddess, allow external hard drives!
The article was translated into english from german so thats why its in poor english.
excellent! *does finger riff!*
it could just be speculation, the USB hard drive that is.
I remembered Nintendo saying something about they will have a suprise for us near the end of the year. I wonder if this is it?? Is a pretty good suprise if you ask me.
it could just be speculation, the USB hard drive that is.
could just be a bad translation
It IS a bad translation
original:
"Die Demos kann man dann entweder im 512 MB großen Flashspeicher der Konsole oder auf einer separat erhältlichenSD-Karte speichern."
There is no USB Hard drive named in the original post oO
Maybe a MSN/ICQ/YahOO messenger thingy?
YES!!!! Thank you GOD!!!!
Yay! W00T!

Maybe a MSN/ICQ/YahOO messenger thingy?
Not ever going to happen, ever
Ow No?
Seriously Miyamoto spoke about it at the E3 this year. It would be a mix of MSN and Maxi, a japanese blog compagnie/website. And he was serious about this.....
I really was scared to even read this post. It's too good to be true. We all want Wii demos and the possiblilty of a hard drive of some sorts. I almost wish I could go back and not read this just in case it's not real. Too heartbreaking if it's not.
i'm crossing my fingers for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but this just could be a big rumor all together.
I personally think that a game that is most probable for them to do this with are some games from Wii Play or Wario Ware. The nature of these games I think makes it easy for them to offer them as they can just put one or a couple games in, and by doing this maybe the size of the demos wouldn't be too massive. I do think though that no USB drive will be supported (at least with these now).
It doesn't mean anything... the USB drive bit. They probably know nothing about them. Considering nowhere else has anything about USB drives.. it's just crap.
for one, we had a thread confirming this a LONG time ago, so the whole demo idea is old and official. so stop worrying, the only speculation is the USB hard drive. BUT as far as these demos go, they could do it with anything, think about the 360, u can DL demos of new games all the time, its just like 1 level. so for instance, they could have a demo of the first level of metroid, it would be easy.
but like i said, this is confirmed, not just speculation, ill try to find the link for it later.
I didnt know that this was confirmed, it was ne news for me. I would like to see that link.
