Wow, you're actually not bull****ting. Too bad we don't get it until the end of the month. How does it work?

Well, the primary function is to display marketing videos, you enter the channel and the first thing you see is an intro video that lists all the points of interests available that day, and then you go to the video list and select any video you want to watch, but up above the video list there's a button you can press that will take you to the menu where you select "Download DS Demos" and then you select the demo and it will go to a wireless mode where it requests that you open your ds to the download and play menu and after a while it will let you select the demo from the download and play screen, then when it's done, the game will run like as if you had gotten it from a download station at a store.

There are a lot of other features, too, but I consider that one to be the MOST important, now if only they could give Wii demos.

Should be fun. I will try it out sometime when I am at a friend's house with my wii.

If you could have a nintendo wii demo of a game.

If you could have a nintendo wii demo of a game. It would take up a crap load of memory. But if you have a usb jump drive with a lot of memory or a SD card with a lot of memory you could download it but that would be the only problem that I can think of with downloading a nintendo wii demo would be the memory that it would take up to download. Of course I am not a technical person so I wouldn't know if there were any other problems other than the memory that it would take to download a nintendo wii demo. By the way does anyone know if a external HD would work for the nintendo wii? One that has to be plugged up into a wall I mean.

Not if it loaded straight to ram like it does for the DS. They could be small. Games are not constantly accessing memory. Plenty of games could be demoed on the Wii. Most importantly, if the Wii could start demoing games, that puts it one step closer to the class of system of the Xbox as far as online content goes.
