Also on the Wii today in Japan: two Namco arcade games which are personal favorites: free-scrolling shooter Bosconian (with fantastic "ALART" voice samples), and Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani's weird Libble Rabble. Genterprise continues its budget series on DSiWare, with a top-down racer and a VR-looking action game:
- Bosconian (Arcade, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
- Libble Rabble (Arcade, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points)
- G.G. Series Tetsubou (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- G.G. Series Drift Circuit (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- Art Academy (First and Second Semester) (DSiWare, 1 player, 800 DSi Points each)
- Demos: Pokemon Rumble, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord & World of Goo

January 31 end date... Would be nice to know what that means. If someone has already downloaded the demos, could they have it programmed into them to stop working after January 31st? :\

It's possible, but I believe it's more to keep them from cluttering the Shop channel, or to rotate the demos available.
I also suspect they won't completely remove them, allowing you to re-download them, once the date passes, effectively making them "hidden" on the Shop Channel. Just a guess though.
At least the date's better then what NOA gave, saying they'll be around "at least through the holidays"

Just no. We have the same deadline for the demo program here in Europe but I guess it is about the ability to download the game, not to play it.
What I've just done it's switching my wii system date to 2010 and after that, I was still able to play the demos.
*I'm fully aware of the fact the this whole thing may sounds like a time paradox...*
