The story goes like this — Nintendo finally adds a few WiiWare demos to the Wii Shop Channel. After that, the five games that are graced with demos see a mild to extreme increase in sales. People start to think that maybe Nintendo understands the importance of the on the internet marketplace. Children sleep soundly at night. God beats the Devil at Marvel Vs Capcom 2 using a team of Roll, Servebot, and Dan. All is right with the world.

So of course, Nintendo decides to cancel the service. They wouldn’t be Nintendo if they didn’t turn left while everyone else is going right. Sometimes I’m fully behind their weird ways, but not this time. This decision is nothing but dumb. Let’s just hope that this is just a temporary cancellation, and that after the few months it will likely take for them to get their collective heads out of each others’ collective asses, the gang at Nintendo will start with the demos again, this time for keeps.

The five current WiiWare demos are for Pokemon Rumble, NyxQuest, FFCC:My Life as a Darklord, World of Goo, and Bit.Trip BEAT. There is a brief Destructoid mention at the end of that last one, so why not download it just for that, or superior yet, gift it to a friend? That would make me happy, so you should do it. Plus, I’d wager that the more people that grab these demos, the greater our chances of getting more of their kind. Free stuff is good. Download now please.

I guess this isn’t technically gameplay footage of Major League Baseball 2K10, but it’s the first time we’ve seen video of the game in action, so check it out! Sure, it’s simple to make a game look good in a trailer, but I’ve got to hand it to the folks at Visual Concepts — this already appears as if it’s going to be a much superior game than in years past.

The players move much more realistically than they have before, and while the crowd seems too lifeless, the on-the-field stuff — hitting, throwing, catching, and running — looks solid. Maybe folks will have a reason to buy MLB 2K10 aside from the possibility of winning $1,000,000 by throwing a perfect game.

2K Sports’ Major League Baseball 2K10 will be out on March 2, 2010, for the PS3, 360, Wii, Personal computer, PSP, and PS2. Hit up our 2K Sports tag for more of our coverage of the game.
