You know how there are VC Demos in Brawl, where you get to play like 30 seconds of a game? Did anybody actually buy a VC game after trying the demo (I'm talking games you haven't played before)? Like, were those 30 seconds enough to compel you to buy a game you never played?

I'm just wondering because, unless they were already on the fence about the game, I can't possibly see how anyone would play it and think "Well, I'm sold".

Nope, the only games I hadn't played were ice climbers and kid icarus. I guess brawl did cement my beliefs that those games are crap though :P.

No way. I'm still a product of the 80's so I played most of those as a kid. Even if I hadn't, I hate being timed.

All they did was look at a speedrun of the game and half the time so nobody could brag about "winning a demo." I for one am glad they removed the Earthbound demo, three minutes of talking, walking, and like one battle would have turned me off if I hadn't played the game before.

Actually, I bought Ocarina of Time after I seen it on smash because I wasnt even aware it was on VC. I have the Master quest, collection version, and the original copy, but I dont care. It was and still is the epitome of action adventure games.

But you had played the game before, so it seems like the whole demos thing didn't really work for anyone.

I played Kid Icarus on Brawl and now I want it, but I don't have online so I can't buy it on the Wii Shop Channel.

I don't have Wi-fi, but I plan on buying 2-3 of those games after playing the demos.

Nope. I've played all of those games before except for Kid Icarus -- and 30 seconds with Kid Icarus wasnt enough for me to want to purchase it.

Nah, but I am thinking about buying the legend of zelda orcania of time. Becuase it got a 10/10 rating, and I thought it was fun.

I might also get super mario world.

wow I am the first person to vote yes on this poll after 15 no's. Thanks to Brawl, it persuaded me to download a truly remarkable game, Kirby's Adventure for the NES.

Kid icarus is fun (and worth 5 bucks) if you play more than 30 seconds of it

Timed demos suck. If they made it like the whole first level (or first dungeon w/out over world for zelda) they might have stood a better chance.

But that requires more effort so, whatever.

No, but i did play the Star Fox 64 demo, and went over to my cousin's place just to play Star Fox 64 on his N64. Im thinking bout buying Super Metroid on the vc though, that demo was pretty awesome.

Kid Icarus was sweet for 30 seconds.

This game would have been even more amazing if those were full-games instead of short demos.

It'd be nice if the European version of Brawl actually had a few full VC games, since we waited for it for so long, or at least 1 free one...
