Forums - Gaming - Is the fact Wii has no DL demos hurt 3rd party games?

it might hurt it but very little,i dont think they depend to much,also some times demos make a game sell less,if its not good

Personally I preffer the way this is done over the demo system, I'd rather know about what the whole games quality is from a large group of my peers over playing a kick ass demo and buying a sucky game.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

The Hunt Begins 4/20/2010 =D

Its not hurting it since the never announced a feature really but more like loosing potential customers.

Just throw it out there.

When games like Force Unleashed, Uncharted, Burnout bringing their demo out. So people like myself who own the system can try it out before deciding on it. In one way, it brings out more hype. Another way, it's a great way to get some exposure to the gamers directly.

 

Is the fact Wii doesn't have an hard-drive and therefore unable to have vast amount of third party demo games.... hurting third party games' exposure? Who knows, but it sure is possible.

 

I would've loved to see how will Z&W or NMH, and for that matter, Mad World do if they give fans a few weeks to try out their demo before release date.

 

I agree. I think Nintendo should work more closely with 3rd party companies, and help them advertise their games when they can do so cost efficiently.

Nintendo is like Daniel Plainview:

"I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most.....games." /evilgrin



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

It's a toss up cause honestly I know so many people that said they're not getting Too Human cause they hated the demo.

Considering the quality of most 3rd party games, i think demos would only hurt sales. Then again, Nintendo Channel has the user rating system.

The problem with demos is, that if you play only every now and then and only a small amount of time at once, the demos could replace the need for the game itself.

In the end, Nintendo Channel, as is, is a great tool to promote games.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

It would help Nintendo to get more purchases on me. I have bought 9 Wii games. Demos (the good kind) really help to decide whether or not to get it.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
