How do you feel about demos on the eShop, and which ones would you like?

So, the rumour of the Super Mario 3D Land demo caused a certain level of buzz, and I asked Nintendo about it. They didn't reply yet :(

In my opinion demos are pretty much confirmed, because in settings, SpotPass Automatic Downloads mentions them, in eShop the "About eShop" mentions demos FIRST, and Reggie (that dude scares me) talked about them.

I like demos *nods* Because if I want to buy a game and it isn't available, I play the demo to stop exploding ;)

I'd like ALL the demos from E3 AND Gamescom hehe, especially the 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and Revelations demo. :)

I'd love demos. Seriously, the only thing that'd help me do is buy more games. If I'm not sure whether or not to buy a game, chances are I won't buy it since gaming is quite an expensive hobby. Demo's may just be the thing to persaude me. It would only mean more purchases from someone like me.

I believe it when I see it. Certainly would like to have demos but we're talking 'bout Nintendo here so... :(

Check the "About eShop" section in eShop - Settings. They mentioned demos first, before DSiWare and stuff. Then, go to the "Internet Settings" in Settings, check-eth out the "Automatic SpotPass Downloads" thingy.

And the scary dude Reggie talked about them at E3 or some other big thingamijig. Nintendo can't let us down after all that. :(

Same here :)

I really hope nintendo will do that.They already have demos for the DS on the Nintendo channel on the wii.(Kirby Mass Attack just got added and it's fun!) So I'm sure it's not too hard to add demos on the eShop.

I really don't like to play demos, they leave a bad impression on me

I'm not a fan of demos. Plus I don't want to hold the dpad to the right, for one hour, to get to them.

Demos are good, assuming you don't have to pay for each demo. Now if it's a game I'm really excited for, then I might pay for the demo. Like if they ever get a demo of Paper Mario for the 3DS then I'd be willing to pay for the demo.

don't tell them that. demos should be free.

[Free] demos would be an amazing way to advertise games and let people have an easier time deciding on which game to buy. I would love to see every game demo shown on E3 in the eShop.

If it is as much of a hassle downloading demos as it is to download other software, they can keep them. I mean, it took me half a dozen attempts to download Dark Void Zero and Soul of Darkness. I even failed downloading a couple of the NES games once or twice. Never successfully downloaded Netflix, either.El_Zo1212o

Wow, really? That much trouble? My 3DS hasn't failed to download a single thing yet, and I have downloaded at least 12 different things.

Pretty much. I had troubles when the eShop launched but after that it has been quite smooth.

I dunno, it's hard to find a reason not to like demos.
