I didn't see this posted anywhere.

The North American eShop was updated today with a Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games demo.

Sorry if I don't follow the standard news format!

I'm not sure if I should be posting this as anything interesting, seeing as it's not like it's the first demo :S

Awesome. I didn't even notice the new demo.

I think the graphics look pretty nice. Sonic's model looks a lot nicer than in Generations.

I've heard it was less stylus-heavy as the DS Winter. Any feedback ?

In terms of gameplay, it's a pretty good use of the 3DS mechanics. They used everything except for the camera and the mic. It was the first time I actually got a chance to use the 3DS accelerometer, and it was pretty cool.

I can't really compare to the DS Olympic game seeing as I never played it, but there was only one touch-based game in the demo.

Seems nice, as almost every game used the stylus on the DS Winter.

Nintendo should release stuff at the same time for EU and NA

inb4 "you now actually have to swing your 3DS around to make people run/swim/etc''

Hope it looks better than 2012 for the wii.

The graphics where quite better than i expected,

The demo lasts for 6-8 minutes and there's 5 rounds with 4 different teams

Graphics are really nice and the it uses the 3DS capabylities all right i guess. Too bad the 3D isn't really all that great

Such a good demo..I underestimated it!

It's hard for me to say this but... i suck at the soccer event T_T

Me too xD It requires precision (which I lack) so just move that circle pad around.

Btw, my only complaint with the demo is that you cant change the team characters before the games.

Yeah i kinda hate that too. Nothing anoying but i kinda want to pick my team when i play.

Anyway it's a demo but it's still better than i expected

Yeah, I got one point when I played that event the first time. Oh well.

After an awesome demo last week, little disappointed in this weeks. Played everything twice, I think that will be enough. And I too suck at soccer, lol
