What's this? A demo?
That's right folks -- if you're lucky enough to be a Wii owner in Europe or Australia, you'll be able to download (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/19/wiiware-lifts-off-in-europe-and-australia/) the WiiWare game that many of us in the U.S. have been coveting -- Dr. Mario (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/dr-mario). Are you still unsure whether or not you want to lay down 1000 Wii Points, though? Fear not, because there's a demo out there that'll let you test the waters.
Interestingly, not just anyone can play it. A registered Wii friend who bought Dr. Mario & Germ Buster has to send you the free demo (we've tested this and it works). Once you receive and download the trial game, you can register the friend codes of people who've bought the full version and play against them over Nintendo's WFC.
Unfortunately, deprived gamers on the other side of the Atlantic won't be able to download the demo. Even though Wii owners in the U.S. can recieve it from a friend, trying to download it will generate a message saying, "The software you selected is not available in this country." Sad times, indeed.
