Glad that you guys overseas finally get demos, too.
Here in Japan we had them for a while already.

I hope they'll have a demo of Luigi's Mansion 2 before it is released.

Have they even released any first party game demos yet?

Well, it's not a game, but there's a demo of this encyclopedia software that was made by Nintendo:

All other demos are 3rd party games as far as I can tell.

I guess my SD card will be f****d earlier than I thought, unless these demos are really small. Time to buy a new one.
