3DS eShop will support demos in November update

[Tails 6,692]

With the next system update coming in late November is the ability for Nintendo and third parties to release demos of their games via the eShop. In line with this, it was also confirmed that we’ll be able to download things from the eShop and put our 3DS to sleep without interrupting the download.

 

Also, Downloadable content will be supported for the 3DS in the next system update. Satoru Iwata has confirmed that, once the next system update hits in late November, it will be possible for developers to provide downloadable content for their games. This is somewhat possible at the moment, with games like Dead or Alive: Dimensions providing bonus costumes and Samurai Warriors: Chronicle providing bonus scenarios, but I imagine the functionality will be expanded to support larger sorts of content. This is "a feature a number of software creators have been looking forward to," so hopefully they make use of it.

 

This sounds like to be quite interesting. I really hope that this means there will be a SM3DL and Mario Kart 7 demo available. As well as Kid icarus: Uprising demo.

Great find man! Now we'll be able to try the demo's before deciding whether or not to buy the game.

This all sounds awesome! Thanks for the info, though I'm sad we won't get the Kingdom Hearts 3D demo just yet here in the US.

Hmm, since we can use the nintendo channel for DS demos, it'll be nice to see some 3ds demos as well
