    I saw it in the Redbox app. If you go to the Coming Soon tab and pick Games you'll see it. Here:

    Took that snapshot several days ago, thus the coming soon for GT6.

    Yes, they're still limited, though most still offer the maximum 30 uses. Honestly, I don't think I've ever used a demo more than 10 times, much less 30, so it should be enough for most people.

    Well i'm glad you're happy with your purchase, but you can't generalise and say that "everyone is loving the console". The people with faulty units, and my mate who bought one on release.... He really isn't in love with it. Anyway, it's all subjective... I know they'll be some great stuff on ps4 & xbone, but right now, for me, there's some superb content available on the Wii U. Last weekend i had a 'booze & wii Party u' session with some mates..... Nobody does minigame madness like Nintendo... We had an absolute blast!

    No, I meant are they available for a limited time or do they stay on the store forever (or at least a long time)? On the Wii they offered limited demos and as I recall they were only available for a limited time. Though it's possible I'm misremembering it.

    No, like the 3DS eShop, they seem to be permanent. I've yet to see one disappear.

    That's not true, actually. The 3DS eShop's demos rotate out every couple weeks.

    The demo will stay on your system when you download it, but not all the demos that were available a long time ago on the 3DS eShop are available currently. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Resident Evil: Revelations, and I think Style Savvy: Trendsetters... those were all there before, but now they are not.

    You can't really generalize that everybody who got a ps4 excitement didn't last past the initial switch on, but get mad when someone says that it seems like everybody he's talked to loves the console...

    Anyway I love my Wii U, and I'm sure (when I eventually get them) I'll love my Xbox One and PS4.

    Get mad? Oh please, i'm too old for that. I have no allegiance to any manufacturer. My initial post was just to bring a bit of parity to his cocksure remark about wii u sales.

    Not over here in the UK, every single 3DS demo released here to date (including the ones you noted) are still up for download on the eShop.

    Hyrule Warriors looks like it might be dumb fun.

    I have to say that that new Yoshi's Island (3DS) art style is really not doing a lot for me. Kind of ugly. Maybe better on the device???

    I like that they've made true on the golf thing they showed off way back at the Wii U reveal. That looks pretty cool, especially if it uses the gamepad sensor to improve the realism/accuracy.

    A little something I noticed from the Hyrule Warriors video. I'm begining to believe this is the first game in the timeline due to the uncanny resemblance of Link in Hyrule warriors and Hylian's chosen hero. Both wear shoulder pads and Link is using an extremely untraditional shield. The only difference is the rendering of Hylian's chosen hero wears red cloth and this new Link seems go prefer blue
     
  16. Hyrule Warriors...oh my goodness

    Probably wont get a wii u for quite a while actually. I was just watching some youtube videos of Super Mario 3D World though and it looks so fun. New Super Mario Bros U too. Also with Mario Kart 8 coming spring... Want! :) i think it's pretty cool you can play all on the gamepad too.

    Yeah it's great to play on the gamepad, fun to go anywhere in the house and still be able to play as long as you are in range. I can go on my first floor with my console on the second and it still works. Pretty awesome
