You don't get any demo with the Japanese DS (I got one today) and I don't think it is worth getting a Metroid Prime demo if it is more than 5 bucks (Although it should be free). But no misunderstanding, I am not saying that the demo is bad, i am just saying that it is only a demo allowing 10 minutes of gameplay..... Wait till the real game comes out.

The demo doesn't come with the JAP version. Because I ordered the JAP version too and I haven't recieved it yet, can you tell me if there is a manual in English?? There is anything else that the JAP version has that the US not?

isn't ebay selling the demo for 30 bucks or something? or that may have been another site, but the fact is, its just a demo, and demos were made to be free, so more people can get a taste of the game. don't buy the demo.

Don't waste your money on the demo. Just borrow it from a friend or something.

RE: OC Remix

There's only 1 reason to get the demo: Multiplayer

If the DS is tunneld successfully before the full version is released, you'll be missing out on some great friggin' fragging.

I play Metriod Multiplayer quite a bit, and have to say it's more akin to quake3 than anything, and if that's your cup of tea, you'll be very happy to have something similar on a portable :)

15 bucks tops, including shipping, anything higher is not worth it however. Afterall, the full version is only a few more bucks, once it's out.

Actually, the Jap DS has something the US release doesn't. For some reason, they didn't enable the "Wake Up" feature, for when another DS is in range and it's in sleep mode...

So, look at it this way. You either get Metroid, or you get the Wake Up feature.

Nope. There are a few threads on the subject at the Planet Gamecube forums. Ninty said they had to drop the feature to get the DS released on time in the US.

But there is hope that they will somehow be able to enable it down the road, either through a cartidge that updates the bios, or through wifi enbaled download.
