3DS Game Demos available through Nintendo Zone... so?

Recently Nintendo announced that you can access demos to try out through Nintendo Zone services at places like McDonalds and Starbucks... only so what? Its the exact same ones you already downloaded off the eshop. If you thought that Nintendo Zone would mean access to new demos... not yet. Something Nintendo needs to work on to make it worth dropping into McDonalds... huh? You can now watch full Pokemon episodes (4 at a time) on Nintendo Zone? Great!... plan to spend half an hour to an hour and a half in a McDonalds or Starbucks? No? Yeah... Nintendo needs to offer downloadable episodes so we can take them home.

3DS Life Episode 14 is now available.

Pre Reviews - Art Academy First Semester, Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London Olympics, Metroid NES VC, Resident Evil Revelations

Reviews - Dr. Mario Express, Kirby's Dream Land, Super Mario Bros NES VC

Next 3DS Life (Episode 15) coming in March, along with Wii U Life Episode Minus Three. Stay tuned for updates.

What?!? How come there is only ONE game each this month! Sure I am out of coins and have to buy a prepaid card to buy and review it but still... come on, Nintendo! Seriously?!?

Anyway February 2012's offering is...

150 Coins
3DS - Art Academy First Semester
Wii - Mario Party 2

Wah! The Wii gets Mario but the 3DS has Art Academy! Seriously! I don't need Nintendo and the 3DS to remind me that I'm sucky at art! I can do that just fine on my own, thank you very much!

Hopefully next month is better. Stqy tuned.
