Nintendo now showing videos of Virtual Console games

One edge of the Xbox Live Arcade over Nintendo's Virtual Console system is the fact that XBLA allows prospective buyers to demo the game before spending precious Microsoft points on them. Nintendo doesn't have that policy, but tries to ease the burden a little by letting their crowd see videos of games they have ready for download.

While it isn't as good as having the privilege of sampling a classic title before purchasing it, this is a lot better than throwing your Nintendo currency to get a game that you have no idea of what it looks like and how it plays. Younger gamers who didn't run through the NES and SNES days can see what early The Legend of Zelda titles looked like and decide later on whether they want to travel back in time or stay with their generation.

Each game video will last for about 25 seconds which is enough for most people to get a feel of what they may get into. Nintendo has just put up a site dedicated to this service and you can see it if you follow the read URL.
