Bah, I bet Europe/Australia doesn't get it till 2009 or something silly, and the DS is by far more successful here as well.

Thought this would never leave the shores of Japan. :P

Good to hear the news, and being launched side by side with WiiWare. May's gonna be pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

Finally! Their decision to launch it now makes since though, since "if a user has played a WiiWare game for at least an hour, they will be able to review the game on the Nintendo Channel."

I agree, I could never get my hands on a DS (mostly because of my sister), but now that DS games can come to the Wii, I'm gonna be one happy camper. I just hope it doesn't take too much room x-x.

 They're just downloaddemos straight to the DS. So you need a DS to play the Demos.It sounded as if you didn't know. I apoligize if you do.
