Napalm Riot

I doubt many of you have seen this article as it only made it to Gamasutra at 10AM PST this morning, but some of you might. It's a little disheartening if you, like me, are in love with your Wii. I touch mine all the time.

I was rather excited when I'd heard there would be a Wii channel from which you could download DS games and demos. Such a channel would be BRILLIANT in terms of game availability and access. All they'd have to do is plug in some cheesy credit system or a billing system (much like iTunes uses) and the company could pull in more money than they'd spend producing the physical copies for store shelves.

But... it's not true.

Nintendo of America peeps negated the earlier report about such awesomeness. Yes, demos will still be available for download (which will be automatically erased when your DS gets powered down), but not full games (which would have to have been written to a blank SD card on download).

You're missing out on a good idea, Nintendo.
