Nintendo Power survey: Wii game demos

Nintendo Power‘s most recent issue hints that the big “N” may have something lucrative in store for Wii console owners: game demos. This was brought up by GoNintendo reader Popple, who further noted that this was the topic of the questions being introduced to readers when they sent in their Player’s Poll Sweepstakes. Here’s a screenshot taken of the said questionnaire:

Definitely a good idea on Nintendo‘s part. But now that the possibility of demos is on the horizon, we have to ask: where are we going to store them? Unlike consoles like the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, which have HDDs, the Wii’s memory storage space is limited to 512 MB of flash memory.

While this is more than ample space for Virtual Console titles, perhaps Nintendo can also update the Wii to support SD cards with bigger memory and allow Wii owners to play the demos straight from the cards. That’s just speculation on this author’s part, of course. Check back in case we pick up more details on this matter.
