Nintendo Not Planning Full DS-Wii Game Downloads

Though Nintendo will eventually allow Wii owners to download DS demos and transfer them to the portable system, those plans do not include whole games, as was indicated earlier this week.

"In the future, the Nintendo DS will be able to receive demo versions of some DS games from Wii, but not the entire game," Nintendo informed Gamastura.

"The demo will be erased once the Nintendo DS is turned off," the company continued, allaying any hopes of a potential storage device to store and execute multiple demos.

So eh - how will the DS connect to the Wii ? last time i tried to hook up my DS in my WLAN i had to deactivate all security, switch to 802.11b and nearly turn off all router features... the DS has horrible WLAN support.

Crap. I just got done telling a friend about getting full streamed DS games (literally 3 minutes ago), and was going to show him the story. Then I saw that it got updated :(

That's what I always thought they meant. I didn't realize there was any confusion. This is just like the Download Stations in retail stores.

This is all I've really wanted anyway. Nintendo has never been good about using demos as a promotional tool (they over-charged and under-delivered for their Gamecube demos). Nice to see they are making progress.

I'm already ready with my next gripe: Why isn't [insert DS game] available as a demo!?
