Nintendo Strengthens Ds Downloads

Those lucky Japanese get all the cool stuff; beer serving robots, dating sims and now an expanded Nintendo Trial Download service, which is yet to even reach our shores.
The service is available from various Nintendo wi-fi hotspots, and allows users to download trial versions of popular Nintendo DS games such as Sonic Rush, Nintendogs and Pokemon Dash. The service has proven popular in the land of the rising sun, so unsurprisingly Nintendo has decided to expand the list of available titles, starting with Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on December 15th.

The download service is not currently available anywhere outside of Japan, and our local Nintendo representative could not comment on any plans to bring it to Europe, but we'll keep our fingers crossed anyway.
