M&S Winter Olympics Demo Available via Nintendo Channel

winterolympicsPlay some Alpine Skiing via WiiConnect24

Thanks to news tipster Dabbido, we can tell you that Nintendo has placed a demo of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Wnter Games up on the Wii Nintendo Channel. UPDATE: We’ve gotten a couple of reports in that indicates that this demo may be confined to North America only.  A few of our European readers, for the moment, are indicating the demo hasn’t showed up on their Nintendo Channel yet.

Once you download the demo off the channel, you’ll be able to sync up with your DS and start playing.  Only Alpine Skiing is available, and it appears Mario and Sonic are the only playable characters.

Here’s what else you can expect from the demo, according to Dabbido:

It’s great fun and simple as well.  You touch the stylus to charge and slide downwards to go, after that simply touching where you want to go, and sliding down again for a boost! Like Mario Kart, if you touch the screen at the mark of 2 you will get a starting boost!

If you’ve downloaded the DS demo, you are free to tell us your thoughts of it via our comments section below.  And remember, if you have a news tip, you can share it with us by clicking News Tips at the top of every page.
