Play 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.

oh cool, I wasnt going to buy the game but if the demos good I might change my mind
You even quoted me!
awesome =3
Ive just hopped onto the EU nintendo channel and no demo is available there. I think its for America only at the moment.
I tried the demo just 5 minutes ago and it looks like Sega and Nintendo knew what Mario, Sonic, and sports fans wanted. The controls were a bit shaky, but they were OK. The graphics were sharp and beautiful and the music sounds better than ever. I still can’t understand what the GS stand for. But, anyway, it looks fun, I can’t wait for it, and Sonic still looks the same like in the other game. But, it looks OK.
I thought the game looks and plays real good!
It was pretty fun, the fastest time I got on the alpine skiing was 47.008 seconds with Sonic.
Better hurry if you want to try this event, they only have it till Sunday! Hopefully they will let us try more events!
I would dowload it if it was the Wii version. I mean comon! What’s Nintendos preoblems! Why can’t there be demos download able for Wii! I mean demos from a Wii game!? Why, sometimes I want to try a game before I buy it! But with Wii, I can’t! You can do it with the DS and that’s just a stupid crappy hanhelds console. And all the other! PS3, PSP and 360! You can download demos to them. Bwah! This really annoys me.XP
I don’t care about this demo. My brother will download it for DS anyway.
will it last?
Chrissy if your talking about if it stay’s in your dsi no it goes away when you turn it of then you have to download the whole thing again
