Code Name S.T.E.A.M. to get a demo on the Nintendo eShop (via DL code)
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
This apparently are for Employees only, the game releases in March, so I gonna make a wild guess and say that they would release two demos more: 1 early demo for Club Nintendo members and the other for the General Public like two weeks before release, like they did with Smash and now for Monster Hunter 4.
I guess advanced and limited demos help build hype and were a nice incentive to keep your Club Nintendo account.

The demo is longer than I expected. It even has save points. The only thing that's bugging me is the enemy movement takes forever. It looks really good.
I'll do a better write up later....I'm tired so I'm crashing out

You really need to relax. The demo will be on the eShop sooner or later.

I called a Gamestop in Markham, Ontario and they were unaware of any codename steam promotion or demo codes, so I guess this isn't happening in Canada.

So do we still not know who The Fox is from? I like the character's for this game, Scarecrow has a really interesting design.

You don't. Read the thread.
Forgot to ask my gamestop guys if they had any left and now am too lazy to take a bus all the way there

But maybe someone who works there and don't want his code could plug someone? Idk... =/

A little birdie (can't say who, sorry) strongly hinted to me at it being Zorro's granddaughter.
But I'm not 100% certain I interpreted the hint correctly even though it does line-up perfectly.

The game comes out in May. We won't be seeing the demo here before late Feb/March.

I don't see it, what do you think is a typo?

I think it it's supposed to say "Can Be Spent In The Full Game"

Nah, it means sent to as in it can be transferred to the full game. At least I think so.
Edit: Also, you can't really spend a unique weapon...

I'm pretty sure it means "transfer your coins to the full game", yes. Just like the Smash Bros. demo.
"You earn Can" Although I assume the coin stands for "Money" so it essentially reads "Money you earn"

I wonder if the Fire Emblem characters would work in the demo once the new 3ds comes out?

Does the character select screen mean that there are 3 more (or 2 if Lincoln is playable) characters we don't know about yet?

Every time this stupid thread gets bumped I think codes are being sent out. I hate you all. >(
It just went live hours ago. Prepare for multiple bumps while people discuss.

No it shouldn't. Unique is spelled with a vowel but it is not pronounced with a vowel the "u" is pronounced "you" like "youneek" which means is "a unique weapon" and not "an unique weapon." An exists to verbally make words starting with a pronounced vowel flow together with the indefinite article.
edit: god damnit, I should've scrolled down a bit more lol ...beaten^^

Once you beat the demo you can replay both missions with all 4 characters. That was fun. It took me about 2 hours to complete the demo and collect all the gears from each stage.

Possible demo for the masses on Friday? Random twitter account, so take with a grain of salt: https://twitter.com/synx0815/status/560521288335503360
My bad!
I guess this is what happens when I follow my subscriptions page too closely without checking the main page. Thanks for the heads up.

Eh... this demo kinda killed my interest in the game. I absolutely hate the overwatch mechanic. How the hell are you supposed to take an enemy when he's just sitting there covering a corner that you have no other way around?
TheMoon

It's called being offensive. Walk around the corner, let it see you, run back and make it come after you. Or just take a hit and blast away. Overwatch is a fantastic addition to the genre.
Made a little video with my impressions and some gameplay footage: https://youtu.be/Khsg8RtkxPs
One thing I didn't mention is that the enemy turn takes forever and sometimes you're sitting there staring at nothing happening. Gotta be a way to adjust that.
