dekupk5 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I've been noticing that Microsoft and Sony have been making demos for their games, for example Uncharted 3 on the PS3. That Uncharted Demo became extremely popular and I think that it encouraged people to buy the full game. Wouldn't it be nice to have a Skyward Sword Demo, or that rumored Super Mario 3D Land demo and play them until the full games comes out? Do you think Nintendo should charge for demos? Do you think Nintendo should, or should not make demos for their games? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forecast Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well, Nintendo did this before with DS game previews so, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 They sadly won't do it, as they forgot what demos are. They need to get with the times, because I do not like the thought of having to purchase a game on the eShop just to see if I would like it. This, of course, is my opinion.

Secant Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 They do, however, offer quite a few freebies on the eShop, whether they be full games or just nifty gadgets, such as Excitebike, Pokedex 3D and Zelda: Four Swords 25th Anniversary, to name a few. I do agree that demos would be a nice addition to the eShop rather than the abstract "What kind of game is it?" question with a ratio of casual play to intense play being the main form of genre identification.

Conker Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I honestly haven't ran into any freebies besides those you listed. Three freebies and having to pay to see if you enjoy a game is just kind of dumb, in my opinion. (but of course, I may have missed any other free titles, so I dunno) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
