Nintendo Testing the Waters with WiiWare Demos

Nintendo President announces the possibility WiiWare demo service.
In hopes of bringing more attention to the Wii Shop Channel, Nintendo will begin offering WiiWare demos later this month. President Satoru Iwata discussed his plans for the service at Nintendo's recent investor Q&A session.
Currently, Iwata believes that the Wii Shop Channel is only used by people who know what they want to purchase in advance. It seems that Iwata is a bit skeptical of the ability of demos to sell more games, but feels that it will be decided by this test market. For now, the Nintendo president did not specify a region, but it seems that Japan will be the first to see WiiWare demos.
Iwata has to be the biggest dumbass if he doesn't think demos are a good idea. Like I'm really gonna pay money for some random shitfest Wii game that I know nothing about and have no chance of getting any kind of refund. This guy would probably stick his dick in a gloryhole without knowing what was on the other side.

I haven't yet bought a WiiWare game, and I refuse to, until we get demos. I'm not spending 500, 800, 1000 points without KNOWING.
