A demo for Ubisoft's Survival Horror Wii U exclusive is now available to download from the E.U eShop.
There's no word on when the demo will come to the North American eShop at this time.

Source: http://nintendoeverything.com/109980/zombiu-demo-lands-on-the-european-eshop/

- i'm currently in the process of downloading the demo myself.

Please discuss your view on the demo below, particularly those of you who've played the full release so we can get an idea of how it compares.

~P~

Why? Why Nintendo .... Why?

That's lame as fuck. Thanks for the info Eighteen.

Because by the time you reach the play limit, you'll have gotten enough gameplay to make a decision on if the game is worth buying. Yes, it sad that we can't replay the demos unlimited times, but really, replaying the same short demo over and over tends to get boring.

Valid point, but its still a BS excuse. Oh well guess with the limit on plays you'll end up recouping the drive space. No sense in keeping some thing you can't play.

I thought download limits were imposed by the developers themselves. The Zombi U Demo has a limit of 30 Plays

Took me about 40mins to download and about 2 minutes to install.

pssssh... the only demo i have seen on the US shop is fifa 13 and no one here in the US likes or plays footy, which makes me wonder, why did we get this demo and none others?

i click on those games and there is never even an option to download a demo... i checked for two hours one night and no luck... i looked through everything... oh well... i don't need the demos, it would be nice to have some choice though like everyone else around the globe seems to be getting... even a demos section, even if there are no demos in it, lol...

T_T I hate those time restrictions, here in the NETHERLANDS, you need to be at least 16 to buy 18+ games and stuff. I don't even know why Nintendo did fuck us so much up. Since I do not intend to stay up late near an exam week.

Yeah I know blah blah German law, Nintendo Europe is bassed in Großesheim or something like that.

But why the heck fuck us dutchies and the rest of Europe as well? >_> Yeah right; OH MY GAWD WIR wöllen das nicht![We don't want that] Because then German people will use other countries instead of Germany since we screwed our law.

[/rant]

But my love for Germany wasn't huge already, this made me even hate them more then I already did... ;3

Because the server stuff is apparently in Germany and it seems they must abide by their laws even for foreigners accessing the data... Still annoying, I know.

wow, Germany is still finding ways to **** over the rest of Europe... I thought you guys won that "war" almost 70 years ago, lol...

This made me :rofl:

I still think it is no excuse screwing us, cos the servers are Germany based, I think Nintendo Benelux should adopt some servers too!

NoA said that they're currently working on it, it's not their fault it's just how laws work, same reason why we can have commercials on children's networks even though it's illigal here in Sweden, TV companies broadcast from the UK to get around it. Laws are broken, that's just how it is.

About the limit thing, developers are the ones choosing the limit, not Nintendo, there has been 3DS demos with unlimited uses before.

Nintendo did release a statement a few weeks back saying they were looking into fixing the time restriction issue for some downloadable games in Europe and whilst I'm glad this is being looked at, i'm still disappointed that this was even an issue in the first place.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
