On March 3rd, Japanese Nintendo DSi owner can download the DSiWare game Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda (立体かくし絵 アッタコレダ). I don’t know what the games about, but I do love the 3D interface. It’s use the middle camera between the two DSi screens to track you eyes and use that information to display the right angel of th content on the screen. Watch the video bellow to see how it works. If you move your eyes or your DSi, the objects in the game moves. Pretty cool.

Today Nintendo in Europe released three WiiWaredemos for download. You can download the demo of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord, BIT.TRIP Beat and NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits. they are only available for download until 31st January, 2010. You find the demos in Wii Shop Channel under Demo in Search by Genre in WiiWare.
So three demos isn’t much, but is a small start. I do hope Nintendo will release more demos. From my own experience on Xbox 360, some of my Xbox Live Arcade titles are bought after I’ve tested the demo.
I’ve recored some gameplay of all the three demos and took some screenshoot too, which you can see at the bottom of this post.
