Besides, the problem with demos in the eShop is not like "well, they have a demo in Japan so..." because they already have like a dozen there some of them for more than a month already. And you have to add that most of them are exactly the same as the ones in demo kioks so dumping them in the eShop is close to zero work. Extra bullshit potential when the japanese one for RE:R is already in every language and the game is going to be released in just two weeks in Europe. so the only feasible conclusion you can reach is PLAIN INCOMPETENCE and absolute lack of interest about the demo service.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Zen Pinball has (currently) four tables, so chances are you'll like at least one of those. Also, the 3D is really nice and adds to the feel. *But* the fps is more fluid in 2D. So what I do is play a table in 3D until I get the proper feel of it, then switch to 2D for the extra fluidity.

I see Nintendo is starting the year off with a bang on the eShop. I hope this is a sign of the great things to come this year.

I enjoyed replaying through it, and having it portable. It's a great port and the 3D is nice (although there was some ghosting for me.) The level editor is not included but they have included a large number of player made levels from the PC community. So there's quite a lot of content that you may not have played before.
Its just so stupid that they such a dearth of releases on the eshop for the last two weeks, especially since there are no major software releases for the 3DS this month up until Res. Revelations. Would have been a perfect oppurtunity to put more attention towards the eshop with VC, demos, and downloadable games.

What are you talking about? We got Pushmo, Mighty Switch Force, VVVVVV, and Zen Pinball all within weeks of each other. The E-Shop is finally picking up.

Nintendo needs to have something desireable on the eShop each and every week if they really want to build an audience and get to those growth targets Iwata gave out. And no, DSiWare and Nintendo Video do not count.
There's already a metric fuckton of Virtual Console and eShop games Japan's gotten that the west still lacks, weeks like this are weeks we should be getting stuff like that. NOA/NOE need to start plugging the holes or it's going to be Wii/DSi all over again.

These weekly droughts wouldn't be so bad if Nintendo would actually put some older stuff on sale to encourage people to go back and check out stuff that they missed. But that would be far too not stupid for them.
An SD copy&launch method for DSiWare like on Wii wouldn't hurt either. I write off most DSiWare immediately simply because I don't want to deal with the space constraints and my already-full system memory.
But I certainly would like to see Picross-e and some of the other stuff we haven't gotten yet. And what's up with 3D Classics Kid Icarus? Is NoA going to put it off until Uprising launches despite the fact that Europe and Japan both already got it, and with a free promotion no less? That kind of stuff may have been fine pre-internet age but these days we know full well when we're getting secondary treatment.

Weekly droughts? There have been significant titles pretty much every week, whether it be VC or 3DS software.
YES. I've 11 hours on the clock and found it to be more enjoyable on the 3DS than playing through it on my Mac. Player levels also very much help extend the play experience (even though the Mac version had them + more, it's nice they included some in this release).

listen to the mad man
Or simply allow developers/publishers to arbitrarily change their own prices, and then they won't need to do anything, those groups will take over the responsibility of generating interest in the service

Yea seems weird wiiware gets every demo and 3DS gets nothing.

It's a test, they'll only put up the RE Revelations demo on the eshop if 100,000 people download the Furry Legends demo.

Think Capcom put them up to this test?
After all they are the king of giving Nintendo consoles tests.
Even in Europe?

BTW what are the chances of Kirby being 3D? I'm guess 0% of a chance??

Perhaps RE isn't up because of the ratings? I doubt NoE will release a demo of a pegi 16 (usk 18 most likely) game in Europe. They do not trust in the knowledge of the parents and I think they are right about this sadly.

When or if the demo comes out you will most likely have to enter a birthday to download it. Hell you have to do that to watch the "What the Pitch" videos on Nintendo Videos.
100%. It's in Nintendo Video. That's the entire point.

how did I miss that!Thought they would be lazy for some reason. Hope they keep up with it atlease

Demo demo demos!
In a rather surprising turn of events, Nintendo has added back every demo that was ever on WiiWare.

And yet, still no 3DS demos.
Mighty fine Nintendo troll right there.
NoE has grown complacent now that they've earned fan trust.

Shouldn't there have been a Nintendo Show 3D today? I hope they're not cancelling it. I thought it was pretty good. I noticed they also removed its section from the main eShop page too. They still have the videos in there somewhere though.

it's confirmed to have the FSK16 rating in germany. there's also a trailer and info of RE on the eshop already
and that girl is smoking hot
I just got Zen Pinball. I had to pause the game and come here to post this: yes, the 3DS *can* do antialiasing in 3D! Zen Pinball wins the crown of best IQ on the 3DS, hands down.
It's almost as clean as Capcom's Resident Evil Revelations bullshots. The game seems to be rendering at double the resolution and downscaling (aka: 4x SSAA) because it makes the textures very sharp but not shimmery.
Also, the framerate isn't locked and reaches 60fps in some parts of the table.

I think NOA misinterpreted our demand/sadness.

It is really easy and Kirby doesn't get powers like in the sequels. After you beat it, you can open up a harder mode. I really don't like it and I think Kirby sucks, but I'm sure Kirby fans love the fuck out it.
It's good but not as good as most other entries in the main series since it's crazy short and Kirby can't copy his opponents' abilities. It's a pleasant enough little game, though.

I guess WiiWare sales have been so low that they decided to bring back the demos, damn any consequences.
