Nintendo has sent through word the 3DS is now a viable demo machine, with a slowly-expanding library of game demos coming for download on the handheld, including Capcom's forthcoming Resident Evil: Revelations (which looks mighty good, we might add).

Cooking Mama 4, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games are fleshing out the demo manifest for the short term, though there will be more games to add to that list, obviously, as they become available.

All demos and much more are available from the Nintendo eShop on the 3DS.

NAB Nintendo. Will the bank send it out?

Are we talking playable demos or just videos?

playable demos yo!

pretty cool, i'll have to grab that revelations demo now, i wonder if the vita will have demo support as well?

Why would they limit the number of times you can play the demo?

WHY!

Couldn't see any demo for MGS3D, can we get get an ETA on this Steve?
