You click more details. The option to download the demo is on this page.So when you go to one of the games in the demos section on the front page, say ZombiU, there's more options than just "More details" and "Purchase"?

Don't you have to go into "More details" first?
Any news on Nano Assault 3DS?

If they announce Virtual Console for the Wii U tomorrow, what are the chances of it being up by Thursday?

Was this known? The 3DS VC version of Puyo Puyo supports local wireless multiplayer!
I can't believe I'm asking this, but...
Does anyone know if there is a reason as to WHY Nintendo continually dissuades folks from using flash drives as USB storage on the Wii U?
I ask as the Wii U Deluxe bundle runs games OFF internal flash memory, and I'm puzzled as to why NCL makes full use of internal flash but warns against external flash.
Theoretically, any process taking place on the external drive should mirror what happens to files/games stored on the internal flash memory, right?
This is my understanding too, but then I'm forced to ask myself what the hell we're doing with the 3DS and SD.I'm not a tech guy but from what I can gather flash drives, thumb drives etc are prone to failures when required to overwrite a lot.
They recommend a dedicated HD to avoid future problems. I think.

All Flash has a write limit. Flash applications like SSDs are just optimized (expensively, natch) for lots of writes, quickly.Not necessarily failure, but flash drives have a write limit.

Because most USB flask sticks are much slower than hard disks, usually not getting even half of the maximum speed for USB2.0.I can't believe I'm asking this, but...

The internal flash is implemented on a dedicated embedded flash bus/protocol (eMMC), where a flash controller is embedded within the memory chips, and with the proper cooperation from the host software it can use the flash optimally, guaranteeing a certain level of speed and wearing performance, even when the flash itself is not of the most durable (and expensive) SLC type.I can't believe I'm asking this, but...

GREAT INFO!
That said, I'm running all my WiiU DD content from a flash drive.
Obviously I get this, but I'm still not sure why it's then OK to use SD for 3DS then. SD is just as much arbitrary Flash as a USB stick....arbitrary flash you plug in the usb does not have those; IOW, your mileage with usb flash may vary.
GBA for WiiU but not for 3DS? wtfisthisshit

Can anyone confirm or deny if these 30p/30c games are ours to *keep*, or are we just getting them for a certain period before they expire? It's not clear.
Also, has any news surfaced about our 10% discount/refunds?
I don't think it's an issue of reading, though, but rather writing. USB sticks' raison d'être is to store large data files that change rarely and can be read quicklymaking them IMO a good fit for software storage. It's the save data that I'm wondering about, which is likely written more often.3DS games are smaller and need to fill much less RAM than Wii U games. Also, don't SD cards have less I/O hardware in them than USB sticks?
They say the Virtual Console is coming in the spring but Balloon Fight is there right now? Wouldn't that mean the Virtual Console is there now?
Sucks for PAL owners but there should at least be an option. Is it me or do some games feel better in 50 Hz than 60 Hz. I always liked how Sonic 1-3 ran. Plus the music sounds better.
I once Played SSB Meele at a friend's house and his TV couldn't display the game at 60 Hz. It was horrible, like playing in the slow motion mode. My eyes adapted after a few matches but that day I wowed to never buy a 50Hz game again.Sucks for PAL owners but there should at least be an option.

I bought Balloon Fight because I'm weak, but I'm REALLY hype for F-Zero next month, and eventually Punch Out (which I still don't own in any form) and Super Metroid on dat GamePad.
