Pokedex 3D demo...

FZeroBoyoJuly 19, 2011

Heh. Pokedex 3D demo. That thing is pretty much a demo itself.


Nice to see the titles there. Skyward Sword is reportedly done, so perhaps word on a final build?

CericJuly 19, 2011

I'm actually curious to hear about Captian America, and Kid Icarus from another perspective.

Is Pokédex 3D still free to download or is it/will it be a pay-for download?

TJ SpykeJuly 19, 2011

AFAIK, Pokedex 3D will always be free as Nintendo has not announced any plans to charge. I don't think they could justify it because it's worthless, you basically get to look at the new Pokemon in 3D. Big deal, there is no actual game in it.
