Topic: 3DS demos are finally here... at Best Buy!

The article on GoNintendo didn't say whether the demos were just for the display units, or if we could also download them ourselves.

okay.
because i saw the application appearing last summer when i went to bestbuy. it might be related, i dont know.

i would buy a plane tickect and go to america go into a best buy and play this for hours then go back home also is there any best buy's in england they were gona build one but i think they stopped it

...And this is new?

The Super Mario Land 3D Demo is only on display units. If only you can get the demo with Nintendo Zone :3

One of the stores at Disney World had DSi/3DS systems on display. I think it was one of the places in Downtown Disney. We all had our 3DS systems with us so we each downloaded a game to play. Unfortunately, we didn't stick around for long and I never found out if we could download multiple demos. The demos that we downloaded are no longer on our handhelds as far as I've been able to tell.

That right there is a definite reason for me to go to Walt Disney World!! I had no idea they had gaming systems or stores of that aspect at Disney!

Yeah, I was in the same store in Downtown Disney 3 months ago lol

I only saw DSi on display, not 3DS. But DS demoes downloaded don't stay on your DS when you shut the system off.

Does anyone know if the Nintendo Zone is supposed to work everywhere? I went to our Best Buy a couple of months ago and it automatically downloaded onto my 3DS, but now everytime I go there and try to connect it says there is no access point nearby. I'm in east Tennessee, so I didn't know if it's only at big locations at this point, but why would it have downloaded in the first place?

so...if you keep your system on in sleep mode, they stay ?
or is it only a specific zone that makes them available. like you leave the disney perimeter, and they vanish.

@Xyphon
No clue. I went to Best Buy in Port St Lucie, and got a spotpass notification about taking the Star Fox 64 survey through Nintendo Zone- except I never got the app from them which is weird.

@Samholy
You have to go to DS Download Play and tap the demo station icon (or whatever it's called), pick from a list of games and download the demo. You can only download one demo and you can keep it by putting the DS in sleep mode. If you turn the system off though, you'll no longer have the demo.

You can only play the demo when you're inside the store.

Not if it's downloaded (DS games, tho).

Display units? No. Display Units featuring Super Mario 3D Land? Yes.

I just went to Bestbuy. found the nintendo zone, but it refuses to connect to it. Why aren't these on the eshop????

Damnit the demo will probably hit with the eshop update in the November update, and by then the game is almost here. Ughh..

My bad. It's just from how you had originally posted it, it seemed like it was your video, and with that thread you made the day before complaining about SM3DL's run button, it seemed like an obvious question to ask.

I hate the 3DS stations there...I think my neck got sore from playing it. :/ (also, demos came in before the system even launched, so...yeah, lol)
But yeah, I hope Nintendo does downloadable demos soon. >.>

I just went to Best Buy today and was able to play the Super Mario 3D Land demo. Isn't there a Best Buy near you that you could go to instead of waiting to see IF it will release on the eShop?

So how's the demo?
