Would love if they’d release a home demo too, but I’m going to buy it anyway at this point
Saw one in my local target yesterday, but I was t able to try it out since someone was already there and I had pizza to pick up
Remember to bring some hand sanitizer!
Why not have it in eshop as well
US only?
Wow didn’t realize this game came out next week.
My LGS has the demo and I played it, here are some things I noticed:
* You can choose to play as Mario, Luigi, Peach and multiple colors of Yoshi.
* The game gives you 5 modifiers to choose from with powers like higher crouch jump, floating with marios hat, enemies give coins when defeated etc.
* You can play about 2 or maybe 3 levels. I don’t know if the game has a timer but it closed the software during the third level.
* They are pushing the Elephant power A LOT.
* The Elephant power is required to unlock small features in the levels such as watering flowers to get coins or effects to happen.
* Other powerups found were the fire flower and the standard red mushroom.
* Each level I played had two wonder seeds, one hidden in the level and the other for completing the level.
* The Wonder Effects are pretty fun, tho most of the ones in the demo are from the trailer.
* There is one effect I didn’t see before and it basically rains down invincibility stars and lets you run through a level at super speed.
* Two new enemies were a chipmunk that spits acorns at you and a giant rhino that takes A LOT of Fire balls to defeat.
I watched some people play it on youtube and figured that I will wait until it comes out. Looks like it’s a few early levels and if I will be playing them anyways, would rather do it fresh.
Great idea for players on the fence, some younger players didn’t grow up with side-scrollers like I did and they might be unsure about it.
I didn’t think they still did retail demos. Reminds me of the time of the 3DS where I would go to my local GameStop to play like Mario Kart 7 or whatever they had there because I was too poor to actually buy it.
They’re only available at Best Buy in Canada but I think I want to go in blind anyways.
So these aren’t places that already have gaming systems set up, right?
Because I haven’t seen one of those in Gamestop, Walmart or BB for years. If places still have playable systems, where?
I haven’t seen a Switch kiosk in a while.
The Joy-Cons were drifting everywhere. 😅
Th pro controller looks different. Maybe next nintendo console controller leak?
Got to play 2 levels and had a lot of fun. Definitely picking it up on release day!
Anyone find one in Brampton?
It’s a pretty meaty demo, I was taking my time and the game booted me in the middle of the third level.
This is such a weird throwback. Did they just not want people to be able to datamine a regular demo on the e-shop?
why can’t i play the demo at home…
Cool but… as everyone else said, why not release a home demo?
FF16 demo was released two to three weeks before release. Wasn’t really on planning on buying it, but the demo was so good that I couldn’t wait until the three weeks were over.
If you trust your game, just release a home demo to convince us lol
Europe???
Of course not…..
Release a demo for everyone
Sucks for people that don’t live in the US. Can’t wait until 20th to play it.
I went to Walmart over the weekend to check it out, there was a lil kid there playing it… walked away in shame.
Went to Target yesterday and they had it available with noone around so I got to play for a lil bit.
This is old news. The life of a “journalist” these days 🤣. Cut / paste / repeat
