Nintendo Lets You Try 5 Games Before You Buy

Are the kids bugging you to purchase the new Pokemon Rumble on Wii? I don't know if this has ever happened to you, but it happens to me all the time…my son just has to have the latest game, so what do we do? We head to the store (or purchase the online download), shell out the money, only to have him play it a couple of times and then decide "oh, I don't really like it that much." Nintendo has solved this problem by offering 5 free online game demos.

This week, Wii owners who connect their Wii consoles to the Internet can enjoy demos of five games for the WiiWare downloadable game service for zero Wii Points: BIT.TRIP BEAT, FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord, NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits, World of Goo and the new Pokémon Rumble. To try them out, go to the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel and search for "Demo."

Try it before you buy it…that sounds much better to me!
