Title: Official Wii U eShop Game Demo thread
Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 31, 2012, 08:44:17 PM
Do I have the power to make such a thread? Oh well, here it goes anyway. I am a big fan of game demos, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so I figured we should have a thread for games which you can actually download a demo of in the Wii U eShop. So far all I have seen are...


FIFA Soccer 13
NBA 2K13
Rayman Legends
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
ZombiU


I'll add any titles when new demos are released...supposedly ZombiU was supposed to be up a few weeks ago, but it isn't yet. On a side note, I'm surprised to see that demos actually download relatively fast (compared to system updates so far). The 577MB Rayman Legends demo is only taking 10 minutes or so, maybe even less. That's not mind blowing speed (at least not for 20Mbps cable) but it's much faster than PSN.


Edit - I did just see Soren's thread, perhaps we can just add demo availability to that one if this seems unnecessary.


This will be US-only for the time being...I'll try to add EU (or at least UK) soon.

No. Not everything has to be mega thread.

I like the idea of having a thread that lets me know when new demos are out for me to download and try out.

p.s. Rayman Legends Demo may have just bought itself a purchase now thanks to the demo.
So I hope they keep them coming.

I agree about Rayman, that's one of the most creative games I've ever played. Almost bought it tonight, will probably do so soon...just as long as there are more levels to each part (or just a lot more parts). I'm pretty impressed by Sonic Racing Transformed too.

Apparently, european eShop has Zombi U demo available. I knew that from the post on MiiVerse.

Too bad i can't access it right now thanks to retarded policies.

Blame Germany and their stupid laws. Nintendo has to follow German laws since Nintendo of Europe is based there.

They don't have to have the same policy throughout the EU but they choose to.

They kinda do. Even if they didn't have to, it would require them to make 2 separate eShops for Europe, which would be kinda dumb.

Everyone who hasn't tried it should download ZombiU.
