Japan also gets Mother 2 (SNES Earthbound) and some Famicom Fire Emblem game.

Yippy .

very nice, but.

i already have 5/7 of those games on VC.

lol i hope they pull out a surprise or something

Awesome, I just hope they won't cut any trials from American or European release. Although that may very well happen.
And Lordbowser, according to Starmen.net the only thing to do for Earthbound's US release is to... I don't exactly remember, but there is not much left. I don't know where those guys get their information, but so far they've proven to be right.

Holy Crap My Wish came true! The only thing is i kinda imagined it in an opposite direction. I was thinking the Wii Shop Channel would have a Smash Bros. Brawl downloadable demo in the Wiiware section. But this is awesome too! Thankyou Nintendo!

And I own them all.

Hopefully JaJaMaru Kun will be one. And what's the bets then, that Metal Gear will be one, and that they'll launch the MSX VC on SSBB's launch?

They should put these trial versions on the Wii Shop Channel, not in the game.

Anyway, a nice extra.

I thought it was a demo of the actual Brawl game itself, but this seems awesome as well.

Hmm, Japan's site shows Earthbound but not the US and European sites? Very suspicious. I mean there is no reason not to give everyone this game, especially when it's already been released in those regions. Hopefully it doesn't mean anything more than it will just be released later than the Japanese version but we'll have to wait and see...

About time.

I saw another site that claims Mother 2 and Fire Emblem will both be on the demo list as well. I would even imagine the original Metal Gear and Sonic the Hedgehog games will be among the full list of demos.

Nice idea

Nice touch, but the comment in the article about the demos being downloadable on your Wii is one that Nintendo should seriously be thinking about, it would help a lot of people to decide whether or not to download the more lesser known games out there...

I don't get it!

I hope they'll include Mother and FE in Europe too for freaks like me.

I doubt FE will come out here but I hope they dont screw us with earthbound
I've been waiting for months!

i like the idea but what they should release is a smash bros brawl demo like the did at the game con

@duo710: Why shouldn't FE be as a demo in Brawl outside of Japan too? Okay, you wouldn't understand much, but hey, a FE champ can play it even without looking a the screen :uglygrin:
And I would really be disappointed if we get shortened content again, bad enough that Europe didn't get that Tamagon trophy although they had the game, just because America removed it!

Come on Fire Emblem: Anokoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi, come to America, Europe, and Australia to! ...I need it! For those who don't know, my favorite Nintendo series (by far) is Fire Emblem.

Now this is an interesting development, seems SSBB is the game that just keeps on giving!

Why tell us this if its already on smasbros.com?

I suppose this is nice first step, however, this is really the kind of thing that should be done with the shop channel. I mean, look at how XBLA does things as example of what I am talking about.

ChinSpin.

A. It's VC news.

B. Not everyone checks smashbros.com.

I can proudly say that I've never been there.

No interest in having SSBB spoiled for me anymore than it has been. 1 a day updates suck!

Wow, that's awesome!

This isn't really big news. The update on the smash bros site says most of the demos will be so short/quick that you won't even know you were playing them. I can think of better things to do than play 30 seconds of Ice Climber.

It would be cool if each copy of SSBB let you unlock one of those original games for download from the VC. You could play the demos, choose from a menu in-game, and then play the whole game. Greedy me!

I wish I was like you Demon I try so hard not too. But when big things happen I check the site, then end up checking the rest of the updates and all of my hard work of not looking at the site gets wasted. Now it's not gonna be as fun. The whole updates thing is just stupid, yeah it gets everyone exicted for these cool features, but by the time it comes out, you'll know everything about the game. But some things should be told, wi-fi, stickers, and some little things. They should have stoped the updates in December. ANYWAYS yeah this feature is cool, I'm surprised the shop channel doesn't have this.

Agreed Shoe.

Some updates, like maybe 20 of the 150+ should be told.

They shoulda done this from the start.

About time!

Oh boy, can I really have a DEMO of a bunch of 8 bit games that I don't want to buy? How bout just giving us the games for the $50 we pay? They're obsolete. If you want them, you already own them. Instead of advertising space, why don't you just package mine with an additional character, something people actually WANT.

oh snap this got released in japan yesterday and from now on the updates will be about hidden characters and stages go ahead and look you self smashbros.com

oh double snap it tells you how to unlock them thank you im tiered of those fake cheats people post i wont tell the hidden character to spiol it if you want to know just go there

30 seconds the Donkey Kong demo is...
