Why don't nintendo let us download the demo's at home on our own Wiiu. Not everyone lives in america. Make a special e3 demo section on the eshop so that everyone can enjoy the unreleased games. Someone else agree with me?

 

i know its in beta. But it isnt fair for people in other countries? They could at least put a demo on eshop with a note like:" The game is stil in developement".

 

Penny just dropped, a lot of putting the demos etc in Best Buy isn't so much to woo existing customers but to convince new customers to buy into a Wii U

 

The reason Nintendo gave why they are not on the Eshop was this: Some games being beta tend to crash or have problems. While this is ok at a demo station such as at E3 they feel if it was downloaded to your home system that the problems might be enough to turn you off to the game and they don't want that. At a demo station it can be explained that the game is still in production which takes away some of that anti game tension.

 

true

 

hell, a lot of Best Buy's don't even have a demo station to begin with (though i find it kind of retarded that Walmart has one, yet not them)

 

Have they made official which locations will have the demos? I saw a preliminary list awhile ago and it was pretty sparse, not a single location in my area and some pretty random locations. The list looked pretty crappy and I was really looking forward to it too.

 

This. Not to mention, Best Buy has incentive to make the Wii U and its games look good so people will buy from them. This means that if on the off chance there are some broken mechanics, there will probably be a Best Buy employee nearby to remind less-critically-thinking-individuals that this is just a beta.

Furthermore, downloads would require significantly more on Nintendo's end to support it. You have the inevitable users who are just technologically impaired and would be sending in complaints like, "WhY you no Have THIs game?! Y download no work?" Then, presumably after E3 the demos should no longer be accessible... The only way to really do this is if they require a constant online connection that verifies it is up, and then you'll certainly have legitimate players during the trial period who just don't have a good enough internet connection for it to work.

tl;dr - it's easier this way.

 

it kinda takes away from the incentive to get a DELUXE model doesn't it (and the promotion isn't for the life of the system, it actually ends)
Game = some incentive
Game + more storage = more incentive
Game + storage + stands = a bit more
above + a "rewards points" service where you can more money for more games (after so many points you can earn $5 cards for the eShop) = just enough for a not so stable economy (although all the DRM from the Xbox One may help push sales to the Wii U as well)
