Wii U demos have a limited number of uses, dictated by the publisher

12/13/12 4:21pm

With the launch of the Rayman Legends demo on the Wii U eShop, many of you might be experiencing one of the eShop’s newer features, play limits. A feature originally on the 3DS, the eShop demo for FIFA 13 is set to 10 uses, where as Rayman Legends comes in at 30. Why the difference? Nintendo says the decision is left up to the publisher. Here is the exact quote from a Nintendo spokesperson.

"Each publisher has the opportunity to decide how long demos will stay on the eShop, and how many times consumers can play them before they expire".

When you try to play a demo after exceeding the cap, a notification sends you to the eShop where you can purchase the full game. This is kind of similar to PS3 bringing 1 hour trials to PlayStation Plus, but do you think this strategy might continue in the eighth generation? Or is Nintendo out of touch?

This is not and should not be a problem from ANYBODY at all. (Unless you have Alzheimer's Disease...)

If you're playing a demo more than 10 times, you are a very indecisive person.

Why does it exist, though? I mean, why do it in the first place? It doesn't make sense. You'd think you'd want everyone to have your demo. And show it to others. What if I have 35 friends and they each come over to my house over the course of months and I run out of demo time?

I'm just saying. Why do it in the first place? WHY?

It's odd but it's not a big deal. How many times do you REALLY need to play a demo before you know whether or not you want the game?
