No for two reasons:

1) Like kidrock17xp said, there is not nearly enough space. (What was Nintendo thinking... 512mb!?)

2) People would just complain, forgetting it is a BETA. We are seeing this right now with the Halo 3 beta. It's what happens when people who arent used to betas (console gamers) play and forget it's an early build of the game.

Either way, I'd rather just play the game when it's released and in its final build :).

Nah, it would only be dissapointing since its a beta.
People would be judging the game on it.
See whats happening to Halo 3? I dont want that to happen to SSBB.

it could be a disc, if this happened (I don´t think it will) it would be smart to put the beta inside pokemon battle revolution or mario strikers charged

That's impossible though because Nintendo was too cheap to put in an internal HD :)  Oh well.

Everybody forget about the usb ports and the fact that Nintendo already has a partner for developing an external storage solution for Wii.

I had a dream about playing the SSBB demo and I was Link and I was fighting Wario. It was pretty fun.

Nintendo likes keeping things to themselves before they release it. Although it would be awesome, I don;t think we'll ever see a beta from Nintendo.

No

Who cares how many people get to run up and see an unfinished game?

Until they start paying the beta testers that download and play the game then I'm glad Nintendo doesn't allow it's users to be fools doing someone else's work.

No, it would be a ridiculous idea.

Remember the days when nobody ever told gamers if a game was going to come out and when it did, it couldn't be a disappointment or it wouldn't have been overrated, and if a game was announced, you would know for sure that this game was going to be really, really good? The closest you would get to knowing about the game was reading some magazine from Japan, or going to the movies to see "The Wizard".

What's the point of beta testing? If you want to know more about the game, play games previously made by the same developer, or read previews and such of what the game is going to be like.

If anyone really wants to know what the game is going to be like, just play Super Smash Bros. Melee. It's going to be the same exact gameplay, mostly the same exact game, minus the online, characters, and new features.

Some people (like me) acknowledge the fact that it is a clever way for the company to do free QA on their games but a lot of us like to be able to play games months before their release. I've still got my beta of Everquest for PS2 and remember all the good times I had with that (never did end up purchasing the final version) so I think if they release a multiplayer beta (so not to ruin the single player game) it would be great.

Well it won't happen. Nintendo never really fit well with the concept of online, and it just wouldn't be logical to release something that wouldn't even fit on the Wii's memory.

There still isn't really a rational reason to actually release the game. Any beta would leave out key features of the game and if people played the game, they would complain that there was no difference or improvement from game in the past, just like what happened with the Halo 3 beta.

Besides, the only time developers release betas is when the general public needs a taste of what the actual game is going to be like because most of the game's features have not been told and the intricacies of the game have been kept secret, which was the case for Halo 3 and the opposite for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
