demo

I decided to check out the Japanese eshop recently. I knew there were one or two demos on there that were not on the American or European eshops. I especially wanted to check out the Dragon Quest Heroes 1 + 2 demo. I am a big Dragon Quest fan and this game has not come to North American (or Europe) yet. It may never come west. So I was happy to get a chance to check the demo out. Is…

I haven’t always been a Kirby fan. In fact, I didn’t know much about the big pink fur ball until the Wii Virtual Console. I saw the NES Kirby game for download there and thought, “Why not?” and downloaded it. And with that, I was a Kirby fan for life! That said, I have always liked the more traditional Kirby eats everything games more than the other more gimmicky games (though Kirby Robobot was pretty cool). So Kirby Star Allies…

Atlus is on a roll this year with 3DS jpgs. First they released Radiant Historia this month. Next month they’ll release The Alliance Alive and after that they’ll bring Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux to the 3DS also! And best of all, players got to check out Radiant Historia via a demo this month. We just got a demo of The Alliance Alive yesterday too. I played that demo, beat it, and now I want to tell you what…

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is coming out this month for the 3DS. The game is a DS remake. Atlus and Sega will be bringing the game to the 3DS. Today, a demo was released for the game. Here are my first impressions of the Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology demo! Also check out the story trailer below for more info on the game. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology will come out for the 3DS this month. Today I got a first look…

Recently, I read a tweet by SMG Studio, the developer of Death Squared, about their demo on the Nintendo Switch eShop for the game. They talked about the demo but also asked for feedback on it and the possibility of demos from other indie developers. They said that indies wanted to know if people wanted more demos on the eShop. Right away, I knew I wanted to talk about this. I believe that demos are very important. Square Enix recently…

Nintendo’s pink puffball hero Kirby has been in a lot of games for the 3DS. Most Kirby games are platformers, but we did see a free-to-play fighting game called Team Kirby Clash Deluxe for the system too. And this month Kirby will be in another fighting game for the 3DS: Kirby Battle Royale! Nintendo released a demo for the game yesterday and I wanted to share my first impressions of it. Is the Kirby Battle Royale demo any good? I…

Yesterday, Square Enix released a demo of an upcoming rpg called Lost Sphear to the Nintendo Switch eShop (and other places). I played the demo a little bit and wanted to share with you some thoughts on the game! Here are my first impressions of the Lost Sphear demo for Nintendo Switch. Lost Sphear for the Nintendo Switch is from the same team that brought us I Am Setsuna. While on the surface the two titles might seem a lot…

Whenever I see a working demo unit for a Playstation 4, in Walmart or Gamestop, I have to check it out and see what the latest demos are. Yesterday, I was at Walmart and got to play three demos very briefly. Let me tell you what I thought of them. I was at Walmart yesterday and the Playstation 4 demo unit was working again. Its not very often that they have that system working. Its the same with their Xbox…

One of the biggest surprises of the recent Nintendo Direct was the announcement of a demo of Project Octopath Traveler for Nintendo Switch. I was surprised, in the first place, that Nintendo and Square were showing off the game. I thought Octopath was a long way off and might not be shown off too much yet. So to get footage and a demo on the same day was a shock and delight. I have to admit I’ve been pretty excited…

I’m not a Monster Hunter fan. I’ve have tried demos of the other games and didn’t care for them much. But Monster Hunter Stories looked different. The game has cel-shaded graphics and a turn-based rpg battle system. I like both. Would I like Monster Hunter Stories better than the games it was related to? I got a chance to find out with the recently released 3DS eshop demo. Here are my impressions of it. I wasn’t sure what to expect…
