Metal Gear Solid 3D demo on eShop this week
 

[QUOTE]A demo version of Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater will slither its way onto the 3DS eShop this Thursday.

The trial will give gamers a forked tongue-taste of the stealth shooter classic. It has been completely revamped for the 3DS with sparkly new graphics and touch screen controls.

And if you have a new-fangled Circle Control Pad Pro, it will work with that too. [/QUOTE]

been waiting for this, so after this we get Kid Icarus demo right?

Oh shit, son. I'm getting the game regardless, but it'll be nice to try out the demo, anyway. Nice to hear that the CCP works with it, too.

"...sparkly new graphics..."

kekekehehehehe!

my CPP can't wait! I fear for my eyes though.

I've already tried this demo in a post E3 event but I'll try it again, also to test the Cppro

Sweet, can't wait to try it out.

Kid Icarus demo? What? Where? D:

US or Euro? Or both?

[QUOTE=randomwab;35091939]US or Euro? Or both?[/QUOTE]

The two links I've seen confirming this are specifically mentioning Europe... it'll probably hit NA too, but its worth being cautious before getting excited.

The Japanese demo was shit (framerate problems, 3D effect disappearing completely at the bridge, textures, ...), so if it's the same one, don't get your hopes up. I really hope they'll fix these problems by the time of release.

How old is this demo build that we're getting?

[QUOTE=Pikma;35091932]Kid Icarus demo? What? Where? D:[/QUOTE]

sorry, I wasn't really following much, but wasn't there a list of games Nintendo planned to have a demo on the eShop? so Kid Icarus was not included there?

[QUOTE=WonkersTHEWatilla;35092100]How old is this demo build that we're getting?[/QUOTE]

It's essentially the e3 demo I believe.

Awesome.

[QUOTE=Colonel Mustard;35092361]It's essentially the e3 demo I believe.[/QUOTE]

There was no option for the CCP in that demo though. But it's the same area at least.

Nice - I need to see the game on my 3DS to judge it. I just hope they fixed those horrible framerate issues. Wondering how it controls..

After the good vote of Edge I'm really curious to try it.

[QUOTE=Frost_Ace;35092477]After the good vote of Edge I'm really curious to try it.[/QUOTE]

^same. idve prolly tried it either way, but yeah, itll be faster now.

I'm just worried about fps. I might just buy this even tho I just bought MGS hd collection.

I like this I like this a lot. keep it up Nintendo. Though word of advice - make the option to download a demo a bit more obvious.

All regions?! I hope so.

[QUOTE=Frost_Ace;35092477]After the good vote of Edge I'm really curious to try it.[/QUOTE]

As I see it, the game should still be as amazing as it ever has been, but if the framerate is as bad as it was in the e3-GC demo, then it's merely playable at times.
In my time with that demo you could count the frames at times. When you have a framerate around 15 to 5 frames per second...

Maybe they cleaned that up for the final release.

Woo!

Just in time, my CCPro arrives any day now

cant wait to try this with ccpro

the japanese version,had no ccpro then, played horribly

Finally. I can't wait to get this game.

Who's making the OT?

MGS HD announcement for the Vita pretty much killed all my interest in this.

After the EDGE review, I am actually curious how it is. I don't have a 3DS so this could be the one that could tip me over, as I reckon is MGS3 is one of the finest games ever made.

Can't wait to try it out. :D

Despite being a fan of the series. I really was relying on the demo before i made up my mind. So good news.

I just got the HD collection which takes away the desire a little. I was also doubtful of how it'll run on the 3DS, so it'll be nice to see it hands on. But i will say. Resident Evil Revelations really impressed me when it came to what the handheld can do.

It's literally the first window that opens when I enter the 3DS shop. Hard to miss, really.

NOA needs to release this demo, or any demo, this week.

Buying this regardless of how poor the framerate is in the demo.

If it's the same as the broken Japanese demo, Konami would be better off not releasing it at all.

Both regions rattled off the names of a few demos they intended to release in the near future, Kid Icarus wasn't on either of 'em. That being said, I'd be very surprised if it didn't happen.

I have mg2 and 3 in my backlog.. ;__; (along with about 50 other ps2 games)

Though if the demo can sell it to me, I might put off everything else to quickly run through 2 and get this... especially after the RE demo was so good...

[QUOTE=WonkersTHEWatilla;35092100]How old is this demo build that we're getting?[/QUOTE]It is the TGS build with CPP support, according to JGAF.

Edit: Maybe not? Sounds like the JP demo didn't have CPP support?

The only first party title announced to have a demo so far in the US is nintendogs + cats. I'm sure more will come, but that's the only official announcement so far.

Didn't know about this. When was this announced?

What was wrong with the Japanese demo?

Cool. I recently got a 3DS. What's with the lack of demos? There's only two I think. I was expecting more up there.

[QUOTE=TheExodu5;35093847]What was wrong with the Japanese demo?[/QUOTE]It was an old build with a poor framerate.

Alright guys, so I am picking up my 3DS tonight, getting it second hand for an absolute steal, guys says its brand new in box.Hopefully Its legit and I don't get stabbed, anyways so I wanna pick up a game to break it in with ,and I'm thinking this should be my first experience ,would I be right?

This is my favorite game of all time but I don't think I'll pick up the 3DS version. I just bought the HD Collection and I might re-buy it on the Vita so I just can't find a single reason to pick up the 3D version. Not to mention the fact that I own the PS2 game twice as it is...

If you haven't played it before then yeah, this'd be a nice start.

They just started uploading them, like, 1 month ago.

It doesn't? I swear I saw a video on YouTube someone playing the Japanese demo and saw some option for the CPP. I cant link right now though because I'm on my phone

[QUOTE=Conor 419;35093939]If you haven't played it before then yeah, this'd be a nice start.[/QUOTE]

I played like half of it, I got to the sniper boss guy.Is the 3D in this like, WOW, worthy?

Nintendo is just now waking up and building a proper online store with modern features like demos and trailers etc.

It's similar to the Revelations demo in that it's an improved version of a tradeshow demo (don't remember which, TGS sounds about right) based on a newer build - the contents the same, but it should ostensibly look/run better than the game people played on the show floor.

What unfortunate timing. The demo is releasing the day after I pick up a Vita. :\

I've also been playing MGS3 again on PS3 at 60 fps so this is going to be interesting. I'm genuinely curious to see how the port has turned out, however.
