Is it possible to put a demo version up on Wiiware?


This isn't a crazy idea. How well can I control the gooballs on the wii? Since control of them is a big issue -- and my trackpad is harder to control them than a mouse is -- I don't know if I can control the goo well enough with the wii remote.

Also, does the Wiiware support internet play, and if so, to what extent -- can my friend and I build on the same structure, or do I only see their tower in the corporation level?

imo, once you've played it on the PC, the wii pales in comparison. The pointer just isn't as accurate as the mouse.

I found the opposite to be true. Although most people seem to like the pc version, I've always had a much easier time working on my Wii. The mouse is slow. With the Wii I can just flick my wrist around. I guess you just have to be good at Wii controls.

Which is why I'd like to see a demo.

I think you have to take nintendo up on that, keybounce. Very few things are free on the shop channel.
Your dream might come true someday, but for now there are no Wii demos available.
Maybe if you hack...with something like the Twilight Hack? Maybe there's a demo on Homebrew.
In any case, don't ask me.

I like the wii version better, I just wish wii had leaderboards.

i also think the wiiware version is more accurate, but that might just be because i have a shitty mouse.

If you have homebrew on your wii you can get any wiiware game for free but if you do install Wog please pay for it

I already paid for it, I was just wondering if someone did a Wii port of the demo.
