If you preordered from them, then you should get it...Remember, you don't get it till the game is out...

Isn't it great that aside from Sonic Heroes all of the demos on the disk are for games already available? Man Nintendo really is clueless about demo discs. The whole point is to preview new games. It's like Nintendo only sees demo discs as something for new buyers.

I don't mind them having demos on games that are already available. I'd like to try out a game before I buy it. I guess I can go out and rent it, but I'd rather not spend the money if I don't have to. I don't see a problem with Nintendo doing it this way.

I just hope the Pokemon Col. video that is supposed to be on it is something other than what we've already seen. I highly doubt that though...

Ninty doesn't like people trying out games unless they are near finished(a poor demo can lead to negative reactions)...That's why games not out yet will only be shown in video form...

that and i guess they are expecting mario kart to be a big system mover, in all regions, having demos of allready available games makes sence to entice new gamecube owners to try out other good games.

Hmmm... I might actually really like to play that Ninja Turtle demo. I am still a little iffy on that game.

from what i've read you should play the demo and that's about it. every level is supposed to be the same pretty much. get the demo, play it for 20 minutes, ignore the full game unless you find it in the bargain bin.

Pff...
Why the hell isn't the mario kart bonus disc the zelda disc? I don't want these dumb demos.... and the two are launching on the same day.
