Nintendo Okie

The demo for Supervillain Studios’ game Order Up! was supposed to hit the eShop today.  If you visited the eShop looking for the demo you might have noticed that it wasn’t available.  It was pushed back to next week with no mention by Nintendo.  The guys over at Supervillian have now officially said why it was delayed.

“We have just received word that the demo is being pushed back a week on the eShop, as Nintendo is apparently going to get behind it for a bit of a push, which would be awesome! No specifics, but either way, expect the demo next week, and the game is now approved, so it should be hitting the eShop in early June.”

It looks like Nintendo wants to get the word out about the game.  That’s something I can get behind.  I really like this renewed focus by Nintendo on their digital markets.  The WiiWare and DSiWare stores lacked a lot of features and were really a mess more than anything else.  The eShop shows Nintendo is really changing the way that they look at their digital markets and I like that they’re going to possibly be putting some marketing muscle behind some of these digital games.
