Poll....Demos on the VC

Who in their right mind thought it was a great idea to offer all of these games for download, but no way to demo them?   I don't get how a picture of a game, and a description is enough to entice me to buy a game that I've never played.  Especially for the prices they are charging?   Anyone at Nintendo awake?

Think of it this way, if I have 8 bucks to spend on an arcade style game, and I am looking at my Wii and 360, my 360 is much more likely to get that 8 bucks because they gave me a taste of what I can expect when I download the full version.

With the Wii, it's like getting a cardboard box wrapped in tape, with the promise that there is a music player inside.  What is it?  A cd player?  An 8 track?  I dunno....let me open it up and.......DOH   it's an 8 track.  Now I feel burned, now I'm not doing that again.  Get the picture Mario?

Oh well. 

Yup!

NO WAY come on guys don't be rediculas, that would be asking too much. Firstly at least 60% of VC games sold are to people who have all ready played the game and want to play it again for old time sake, giving a free demo would let people remember and have a quick go and be damaging to the sales. Secondly people who see how most old games aren't quite as good as you remember and thirdly the games are put on 3 a week so nintendo would have to slow down to organise, make and upload 3 demo's a week as well. There only cheap, watch some videos, read some reviews, ask on forums etc.

YahooyBooy

I'd like to see them release more compilation discs. Kindof like the Zelda Collector's Edition.

Charge $30 or so and include SMB1, SMB2, SMB3, SMW and SM64 or something like that. Super Mario Collector's Edition. Or charge $50 and include the other SMW and the Gameboy games. Who WOULDN'T buy that, right? Plus, you get to keep it forever... no guarantee that when you keep whatever you can't fit in your 512mb and keep the rest on their network, that what's on the network will  be there forever, right?

How the hell is it randomly, you get 2 screen shots and information about the game. Your told which year it came out on which platform. A part from that just 5 minutes research on websites or forums you'll get an idea of what the games like. People are asking too much and need to back off Nintendo in more then just this area.
