^ my initial response upon reading OP :D

LOL, 3 tries xD!?

Yes, 3 tries. It's absurd, but there's even a logic behind it.

The demo they did for X2 has been downloaded 1 million times, but the game didn't reach absolutely such numbers in actual sales. So, probably, they thought that people felt satisfied just with the demo and that limiting SO much play times with the demo would have made people buy the game after playing the demo. But just 3 times is so retarted XD

FREE NINTENDO 3DS GAME DEMOS HEAD TO NINTENDO ESHOP

Resident Evil Revelations Demo Available Tomorrow

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 18, 2012 - Nintendo 3DS™ owners soon will be able to play free downloadable demo versions of select games. Starting tomorrow, owners can go to the Nintendo eShop to download a free demo version of Resident Evil® Revelations from Capcom. A free demo version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games™ published by SEGA will launch on Jan. 26. The Nintendo eShop will be periodically updated with new game demos.

"The demo program allows Nintendo 3DS players to be among the first to test-drive select games," said Tony Elison, Nintendo of America's senior director and general manager of Network Business. "Players can try out new genres or series, often weeks before the full versions are available in stores."

Additional demos coming soon include Rayman® Origins from Ubisoft and METAL GEAR SOLID® Snake Eater 3D from Konami Digital Entertainment. Specific dates and other games in the demo program will be announced at a later time.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Rahman Origins demo ? I'll need to try that, already own the Wii version but I wonder how it plays and looks on the 3DS.

NOE is releasing a VC game for 3DS AND Wii tomorrow. Someone must have spiked the water cooler or something.

Awesome about Rayman Origins in NA! I'd love to try Rhythm Thief and Cooking Mama 4 (never tried a previous entry), but RO is a great start!

An Ace Combat demo would be great as well.

Or are these only for upcoming games?

Yeah, I'm actually complaining about currently out games not getting demos. XD But it would help me decide if I want to go out and buy said game.

So more or less the same stuff that's on the Japanese one. Not bad, would be better had I not already played them though :p

Would love to see demos for a lot more 3DS games in general.

Resident Evil: Revelations and Cooking Mama 4 are now available for download. In the UK anyway.

French store : downloading RE Revelations PAL demo right now... and hoping I still have some space to get the other one ( it's been a while since I played Cooking Mama, I hope she still has that weird accent of the wii version)

Can't wait for the Rythm Thief demo, the game was hyped everywhere in Japan during my holidays there, and it looks fantastic. (the Space Channel 5 and Samba de Amigo stages & music sealed the deal for me)

Maturity, bitches.
I may have to finally exit out of Ghost Trick now. It is certainly going to have my longest average play time since all I have done is put the system to sleep.

So, RE: R and Cooking Mama, where are the rest? :?

The rest? With Nintendo you should be grateful you get any demos at all. And in any case, surely they want to secure some interesting stuff for the following weeks and months.

Who said Cooking Mama 4 was worth trying? It's the exact same game as the previous one and it's still pretty boring (and mama's voice is grating considering you hear her saying the same thing every 10 seconds)
