Nintendo to trial WiiWare demos
Nintendo will trial demos for the WiiWare service in Japan this month, it has been announced.

In a Q&A session, CEO Satoru Iwata told investors that select titles will be given demos on the WiiWare service, according to IGN.

Taking place later this month, the test will attempt to get more players using the Wii Shopping Channel.

Iwata admitted that the test wasn't "the solution to the problem" but it could help see an increase in downloadable games for the system.

The WiiWare service launched in May 2008 in Europe.
