Nintendo, Your Restrictions On Demos Are Just Silly

- I downloaded the demo for The Wonderful 101, and was surprised to find this message pop up telling me that I would only be allowed to run the demo 20 times. Now, of course I don't plan on playing a demo more than once or twice, as I'm sure most people don't. Which is why I find it so odd that Nintendo would put this restriction in place. If any game is good enough that I would play the demo more than 20 times, then I'll be buying it to play the full experience before ever getting to that point.


does this Restriction effect you?

For the most part I agree with you.  Only, there are certain cases where I will play a demo so many times that I never buy the game.  Dave mirra Bmx for xbox is one example.  The game demo had a big park to do insane bike tricks all day.  I'm sure the game was worth the money but I was happy just playing that one park for weeks until I didn't want the game anymore.  A more recent example for me is Just Cause 2 on xbox 360.  The level in the demo felt like it was the entire game or atleast contained the heart and soul of it.  I played it so much that I didn't buy the game, even though I wanted it, up until this last steam summer sale for $2.99!  Really it just depends on the game.. but judging by my experience it.. It's a sensible restriction.
