Hi
I have heard both sides of this argument but still I don't know wheter it is a good or bad thing. I am of course talking about Nintendo gamecube demo discs. I can understand why they don't want to give us half finished games for fear of the game not being as good when the demo comes out but when it's released it may be a much better game but people will still think that it's not very good and not buy it. I also think that when games which most people have never played on is released and you are one of the first people to get it gives you a real buzz rather then nearly everyone in the country having a demo issue. But on the other hand I own a cube and I know it would be great if they brought out demo discs and we could play on all the great games early. I also feel that we have been let down by nintendo as in Japan they are giveing them out in toys r us stores for free. Also when someone wrote to nintendo and asked them and also said that their rivals give out demo discs they just said that they don't but you got a demo disc with the psone,ps2 and dreamcast so that is an outright lie.

Welcome to the forums. I think demo discs would be a useful media for Nintendo to manipulate, whilst nothing sells games quite like hype, giving people the chance to play even a small part of the game can give them a good idea of what to expect. And in turn less angry gamers who have parted with cash for poor games.
