I'm excited about the demo service, but I need to know an exact date. Netflix too.
I hope its almost every game 3DSWARE and retail; also i hope you can demo games before they come out.

Probably just a small glitch when the thread was made.

As for the demo service - Nintendo's confirmed it's on the way, but we don't know when it'll be here. I expect it'll be part of the summer update alongside Netflix in the States and hopefully Nintendo Video as well.

In theory, the demos don't have to go on as a new service, they are just 3DSWare titles that are free, so they could start to appear at any time without any firmware/shop update.

They've also shown that they can add new categories or shelves quite easily. Also don't expect an exact date until it's imminent... that's just how Nintendo rolls.

It would be great if they had the demos with the retail games in the shop - so two buttons one to download the full version and the other to download the demo. The WW setup is bulky, and there's no good way to see if a game you're interested in has a demo or not.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

Didn't they say they are having full retail demos on the shop? Just not full retail games.
