3DS-enhanced monster mash Monster Hunter 3 G is set to be one of the first 3DS games to offer a downloadable demo in Japan.
The 169MB demo contains two quests and a choice of 12 weapons, with quests lasting around 20 minutes. Most interesting is Capcom's confirmation the demo is playable a maximum of 30 times before it becomes inert.
Here's the game's opening movie to get you all fired up for Capcom's monster hunting extravaganza which, at the time of writing, has no confirmed release date outside of Japan.

Wow! Nice to see demos finally creeping up in the eShop, even if it's only in Japan for now~
I'm honestly surprised they didn't take advantage of this with SM3DL and MK7, both are games Nintendo has been trying to move in massive numbers, and a free demo would only have encouraged sales
does anyone have a 3ds so i can get your fc ty
Do . want ! Maybe they could even make more "stripped down" missions available as paid maybe even episodic downloads in the eShop. I can see me enjoy these more than i would the full, more time consuming game. (which still looks great anyway)
And i very much hope this is the only the start for demos on the 3DS. There should be as many as possible. I think they can boost sales dramatically too.
So there's no need for a demo!
Why do all the hunters seem to be running. I thought the point of being a hunter was to kill the thing. And also what was with the 3 hunters at once, I thought they got rid of online for this.
There's still local multiplayer
The Wii demo (on disc) wasn't a great showing for that game - it dropped new players into a world they didn't really understand and weren't equipped to deal with very well. Yet I'm still incredibly jealous to hear this news.
Also, the opening movie looks great. I said before that it would be worth waiting for Monster Hunter 4... but if this game gets a Western release I'll buy.
Yet another article i have to cry ME WANTS IT.
I hope demos start making their way to all the eShops. There are so many games I pass up because I'm not sure if I will like them or not.
Wonder why they left out Bracchi in the demo.
@7: Sometimes you would be running too if you were almost dead, lol.
Dope ! Looking Good.
Sure we asked for it. But we asked for it here!
Just what IS that thing at the end? Is that Portable 3rd's final boss, Amatsumagatsuchi?
Fantastic picture caption.
@Koto: Definitely not. Unless Elder Dragons can have subspecies now. Oh wait... Jhen does, so who knows.
MH demos are never good for first-time players, they don't teach you anything.
ok this is why I dont get why nintendo needs to pull out demos... arnt these games popular enough that theyll sell no matter what?? I get that you should do this to get even more people to like a game, but games like these are why I dont think they need demos
lets pray there free cause its a demo and even if it isn't lets hope its cheap
@Koto It looks like a magmatic Kushala Daora or a cross between Gravios, Lavasioth, Agnaktor, and Hannibal from God(s) Eater Burst
Zez...elder Dragons had subs before. xD
Anyways yeah, that looks nothing like Amatsu.
Well... Yes... I will leave now
kicks white/crimson fatalis and... I don't even know D:
OMG I want it naow.
There is still too much running away from the monsters in this movie, but at least we get an epic GS upswing connecting with Great Jaggi's chin (don't do this in Multiplayer kids).
To me it seemed like a molten Amatsu or Lagi, though I couldn't tell if the head was an Amatsu or a Lagi, it just looked similar to them
