FREE NINTENDO 3DS GAME DEMOS HEAD TO NINTENDO ESHOP

Resident Evil Revelations Demo Available Tomorrow

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 18, 2012 - Nintendo 3DS™ owners soon will be able to play free downloadable demo versions of select games. Starting tomorrow, owners can go to the Nintendo eShop to download a free demo version of Resident Evil® Revelations from Capcom. A free demo version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games™ published by SEGA will launch on Jan. 26. The Nintendo eShop will be periodically updated with new game demos.

"The demo program allows Nintendo 3DS players to be among the first to test-drive select games," said Tony Elison, Nintendo of America's senior director and general manager of Network Business. "Players can try out new genres or series, often weeks before the full versions are available in stores."

Additional demos coming soon include Rayman® Origins from Ubisoft and METAL GEAR SOLID® Snake Eater 3D from Konami Digital Entertainment. Specific dates and other games in the demo program will be announced at a later time.

Finally! I can't wait to abuse the Revelations demos. At least NoA was fairly prompt this time around. I'm also looking forward to the Rayman Origins demo ^^.

EDIT: Demos for Europe confirmed as well: http://3ds.nintendolife.com/news/2012/01/3ds_demos_launch_in_europe_eshop_tomorrow
EDIT 2: And apparently the confirmation was made by NoE first followed by confirmation by NoA.

So excited for this. Gotta see RE:Revelations myself to understand all the praise, hype and criticism. Cannot wait to play this. Please post here as soon as any of you see it on eShop.

It's about time.

No no no lol, Nintendo of Europe comfirmed it first before NOA.

You might wanna fix your title =P

If Nintendo keeps like this, there won't be need for flashcards in the near future. In fact, Nintendo should do an update to get full cartridge games onto SD and i'm sold.

(hint: use the highest encryption level available, i don't care)

It's nice to see that Nintendo is getting with the times.. I really hope they don't mess the online up with the Wii-U, as I'm going to be a day 1 buyer.

Thanks Nin10doe.

 

[pokefloote]

Well this is nice news. Maybe I'd get excited and want to buy RE.... oh wait it's 50$

 

[saberjoy]

YES! finally

 

[Skelletonike]

Lol, first I was gonna be like: "WTF, what about Europe!?" and then I read the edit.
I'm happy now. xP

 

[notmeanymore]

Why is Cooking Mama 4 in the title, but nowhere in the post...?

NoA did confirm it though for America and NoE confirmed it for Europe.

 

[frogboy]

Finally I'll be able to do more in 3D...

Just wondering, if anyone knows, are the demos time-limited or progress-limited? I'm honestly hoping the latter and not the former, at least for RE, cause I know that it'll be something to mess with when I'm bored.

I think they're time limited, and you can only play them a certain number of times as well.

IIRC The japanese demo's had a 30-play limit, but if you didn't properly close it(like just leave it in standby or on the home menu without closing), you could play forever. xD

Woo, finally!

Hah, I hope they didn't fix that in the EU/NA versions.
