Why doesn't the wii have a Demo Channel?

I'd love to have one but I don't think the Wii's internal memory has enough space for it.

Ehlohim

I think it be a good idea and wii owners should agree tooflashattackfina

NO HDD! The system only has ONE HALF OF ONE GIG mainly to sell you emulated games!

1/2 gig.

NO ROOM for DEMO's MAN.

Nintendo doesn't like DEMO's anyways, a Sony console idea. If they did, the GC would have had them with Nintendo Power.

i hope it gets one because it would be awesome to play SMG and SSBB demos.wiirdawgs

Sorry man, NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN, EVER.

It's funny how Wii fans are starting to want NEXT GEN features added to their system.

It's next-gen features that Sony started back in the day right?

Nintendo has stated that they are releasing a demo channel. I think they are trying to figure out how to do it effectivly without a hard drive.Firelore29

Really? Link pl0x

nintendo is going to add a ds download channel so a wii demo channel is inevitable, they just need to release an update to add external hdd compatibility.shoeman12

People aren't going to buy a HDD so they can DL demo's. Nintendo will also see how well Sony did with their HDD back in the day....

It's not going to happen.

DS games are much smaller, so it will be possible, but Not Wii games.

You can buy 8gb SD cards for 80 bucks now:

I think Nintendo is just waiting till they become a bit more resonable before releasing the channel and it will use the SD Card.

Not just Sony, PC, and 360 as well. It isn't about who started it, it's about who is offering it NOW.

The bottomline is I've heard it all about the Wii? The wii is getting HD-DVD playback. The Wii is going to be upgradeable in the future for better GFX. Now, the Wii is getting a HDD. All from the fans. If they want next gen features, they need to get a next gen console.

The Wii is a whole different machine, New Gen, if you will.

people buy hdd's for their core 360 because they want more room and demoes, so why not for the wii? if you could use non nintendo external hdd's lots of people would buy, a 100 gb external hdd is cheaper than the 360's hdd.

And Sony and Microsoft don't make you buy anything extra? Puh-leaze. Xbox live anyone? There are also like 7 different kinds of Xbox's, and their releasing new ones that don't stop working after 6 months. And Sony? Their releasing a new controller with rumble, A FEATURE THAT WAS AVAILABLE TWO GENS AGO, so don't talk about Nintendo being "last gen"

Besides, even if I bought all that, those things + the cost ofthe Wiiprobably wouldn't even be half of what the PS3 is.

Although Possible, I don't see how/WHY Nintendo will spend the Resources developing such a channel. They are all about the bottomline, and right now the Wii is doind PHENOMINAL with a mediocre/downright horrible online service.

They really aren't interested in ONLINE unless it's for selling emulated games, which helps them make even more money. It's a money numbers crunching game, and I don't see Nintendo ever doing it for the Wii games. The 8gig memeory card would be able to do a couple of demo's if they did want to do it though.

The Original Xbox had a 8gig HDD, and even it didn't do what the 360/PS3 does with demo's today, so it isn't likely. Especially considering M$ is much better at Software implementation...

The recent announcement to allow a Wii to use a 32gb SD card might allow that to happen.
