Soon, there will be demos for games on WiiWare. This appears to be the plan of Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, as disclosed in a recent Q&A session.

At their recent earnings briefing, Iwata revealed to investors that some time this month, they will be holding a test program for the said demos. While the demos will cover only a few select titles, their aim is to find out if the demos can lure in more players shopping on the Wii Shopping Channel to buy the actual WiiWare game.

Iwata-san admits that the current market for both the WiiWare and DSi Ware are currently small, since the people who come here already know what games they'll get. While they admit that the demos does not guarantee a complete turnabout on their statistics, it is their hope that at least they'll be able to pull in more people to try in more WiiWare games in advance.

We'll be getting back to you on this as soon as Nintendo releases more information on it.
