Demos are the only things I downloaded on the eshop along with some applications like youtube,I enjoyed playing them but all good things have to come to an end sometimes,so sad but I think the best demo so far is Super Smash Bros for 3ds.

I rarely, if ever, use demos. The only demo I tried on my 3DS was the Smash demo. Usually, I look to Youtube videos or reviews for gameplay if I am iffy about purchasing said game. I guess it's mainly for convenience. And you don't get the full experience when playing a demo.

I download all demos I like. Some are really great, I keep those. some turn out to be boring and I will delete the boring ones. I think it's a nice way to add some variety to your game-collection without having to spend money on a game that you might not like after all. My favourite demo is Etrian Odyssey Untold the Millennium Girl, it is a really complete demo with several hours of content. I still want to buy the full game but for unknown reasons it is almost impossible to get one around here.

I have to agree with you DarkLord. Demos are fun and make you want to get a game....... (Looking at you parking star 3d)

Seriously, the demo was boring as hell.

I was being sarcastic about parking star 3d. The controls were absolutely wretched

lol... I didn't got the sarcasm :p

I suppose the content of the demo can also make you want or not the game.
For example, after playing Sonic Lost World demo (Wii U) I feel it was slow and not for my taste (and I actually want more the Zelda DLC than the game itself :panda:)

On the case of Bravely Default, it was great because it make you want to play more (I like the idea of a mini-exclusive story or quest for the demo >.>)

@ErixSan I totally get what you are saying bravely default looks beautiful and that is just what I saw in the demo.

I like demos, but usually I'm way too lazy to go to the eshop to download them :p I think demos are great, as they can provide you with a lot of entertainment if you have a lot of them.

I love those unlimited play club-nintendo exclusive demos though :oops:

I /hate/ demos with a burning passion, because It ends eventually. And I have to get the actual game. Which is pretty hard considering I have to get all of mine from overseas.

I only have 2 demos which are the special demo for sbb and Bravely default but even those I rarely play
 
  • #154
Not yet, because I have only the Super Smash Bros demo and I have not yet played it. But I have played the other smash bros and they are really fun. Those are the demos I have but I don't play them.
 
  • #155
yea I dont own the full game either and tons of people asked me if I wanted to try but I said no because you get a sense of accomplishment and you can actually play it whenever instead of borrowing it.

That and the game is more fun that way. :D

but game demos are just an example about how the game works to me demo's are just a small piece of the game that has more secrets and more adventures to come.

I play the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS demo alot. I got the special Demo that has unlimited uses, so I spend a lot of time just on that demo. I usually get demos before I get a new game, such as Pokemon: Gates to Infinity, and Tomodachi Life.

I have the ssb and bravely default demo. I eventually bought the bravely default full version because i enjoy playing the demo. SSB is next.

For some games thatmim interested in I play it to see kit I will buy it but I play a little. Because I'm like this is fun I'm going to buy the gam s I don't want more to be ruined and I want to be even more excited about getting the game. But it depends when I get demos.
 
  • #159
Some demos are really cool , such as SSB demo and AS/OR demo. But those two are the only demos i have played. If i want a game, i just buy it, i dont really need to play it in demo version first, because demos are sometimes very bad when the game itself is really good

I don't play any demo games for the Nintendo 3ds I wait when the games comes out then I play it. Because playing demos wouldn't be right.
