This is for Nintendo of Europe to make demo disks.
Visit and sign it, and it just might work!
Spread the word to other forums if possible aswell!

I don't want to force any magazines into making demo discs because most other magazines do and if you force a magazine into making them instead of letting them do it when they are ready then chances are they wont be as good and no one will want them anyway.

You are the biggest idiot I've ever seen on here. You even surpass TOAH and boxcar_boy in terms of n00bness.

In most cases I stick up for newbies (for obvious reasons) but I really don't agree with what king cool does because it is just plain cheap lol

Cubist, you are a decent newbie, and I think you deserve to be a regular, but If any of these three amigos ever become regulars I will eat some hats.

Demo disks are out in japan at toys r us stores, but only becuase of the really best games and becuase japan is becoming unsteady so nintendo need to do something to be in with a chance.

As for demos in europe it will never happen, or very unlikely.
This isnt mags faults, in fact nom had it all planned out and knew it took 4 weeks to make a demo disk.
Its miyamotos fault, he believes not to give people the chance to play games when they might change later as he sees this as catching the customer with a god demo then make a rubbish game which they buy becuase of the demo.

I kind of agree with him or a least understand Miyamoto's Concerns. Many games that get brought out on demo discs are subject to either minor or vast changes and it is to big a risk to portray a game as one thing when I could be changed a week later. They would get to many games sent back and maybe some complaints. However I wouldn't mind some in game music or footage just to give us a feel of the game (graphics, basic story line etc)

P.s. thanks gerrid :D

The demos could be parts of games that are all ready out, that way they wont change but we will still know what the game is like.

I wouldnt mind waiting another week to play a demo of the game and then decide to buy it or not.
