Searching for more than words in Nintendo's latest demo offerings

This week was a bit of a let down in terms of demos -- then again, it's hard to follow up the excitement of Arkanoid. It seems like Nintendo didn't even try, though. While we were interested in the demo the first time around, Cake Mania 2 already had its heyday. Then, there's Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, which we can't help but be underwhelmed by. Last and maybe least, the only other new demo is from Crosswords DS, which now offers the wordsearch game in addition to crossword puzzles. We guess beggars can't be choosers.

Since things always look better in list form, check out the full list of demos available for download after the break.

Demos:

• Crosswords DS - Wordsearch
• Crosswords DS - Crosswords
• Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
• Cake Mania 2
• Arkanoid
• Brain Age
• Brain Age 2
• Flash Focus

Tags: arkanoid, brain-age, brain-age-2, cake-mania-2, crosswords, crosswords-ds, demos, flash-focus, nintendo-channel, rayman-raving-rabids-2, wordsearch

I wish they wouldn't keep getting rid of demos. It's not as if there's any good technical reason why they couldn't just put all the existing DS demos up there.
