Zelda Tri Force Heroes: demo codes for players in North America and Europe, video
Update
Nintendo has started sending the codes in Europe. Just like in Japan, if you download it, you will get 10% off the full game when it launches, next week.
Last week, Nintendo started sending download codes for the demo version of The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes in Japan, that players can try out online with friends during specific time periods. Good news for fans in North America: Nintendo of America has started sending out codes to players via email, so check out your inbox (if you haven’t done also already)to see if you got one!
The demo is the same as the one distributed in Japan, and gives access to only one dungeon. You can play the game via local wireless (download play is not available, just like Single Player), or online with random players. But unlike Japan, the play periods for the online are much longer:
- October 16th: 5PM to 10PM (PST) / 8PM to 1AM (EDT)
- October 17th: 5PM to 10PM (PST) / 8PM to 1AM (EDT)
- October 18th: 7AM to 12PM (PST) / 10AM to 3PM (EDT)
If you’re yet to receive your code (or if you live in Europe, where the demo isn’t being distributed yet), you can check out the gameplay video with Eiji Aonuma (which is now available in English) in the mean time.
Here it is:
