So if you are part of all the databases in the UK you'll get multiple codes? If so I'm going to be rolling in them :P

Controversy September 23rd, 2014 7:49 AM

Ugh why can't they just put the demo up on the eshop to be downloaded by anyone easily, instead of all this jumping through hoops nonsense. At least it seems more reasonable than the Smash Bros demo

Anyway, how do I get myself in these UK databases?

MarinoKadame September 23rd, 2014 8:31 AM

I guess the NA will need you to go to Gamestop or EBGames as always. And how are you getting a code from amazon ?

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 23rd, 2014 8:41 AM

Seems most of the ways for Europe to get the Demo are to attend conventions, or buy magazines/have a subscription: Edit @ 09:10: They have also revealed details on the demo in Europe, coming in various areas on October 15th. The Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version will be available in the UK from GAME, Amazon, Smyth Toys Superstores, ShopTo and the Nintendo UK Official Store from the 15th October until launch. The codes will then also be made available through a number of other partners including Wikia, Bin Weevils and Nintendo Life until mid-November. Amazon, Smyths Toys, ShopTo and Nintendo UK Official Store will be sending these codes out to fans via their internal databases. GAME Stores will distribute their codes Nationwide via Nintendo Zone.
Edit @ 09:25: The Netherlands has announced that you can get the demo at their firstlook event on October 11th/12th, or at their autumn tour
Edit @ 11:20: Italian details have been revealed. You can get the demo in Topolino and Il Giornalino magazine, end of October, and in Focus Junior magazine, in early November., during the Nintendolandia Tour (October 18th / December 14th in the main Italian malls), during Milan Games Week, from October 24th to October 26th at Fieramilanocity & at Nintendo stand in G come Giocare, from November 21st to November 23rd at Fieramilanocity.
Edit @ 11:33: If you're in Belgium, you can receive the demo at the F.A.C.T.S. festival in Ghent on October 18th/19th and the Nintendo On Tour Mall Tour. Portuguese players can receive the demo at IBERANIME OPO 2014, Lisbon Comic Con Games Week and at FNAC, Media Markt and El Corte Inglés from October 15th. Switzerland will receive the demo at the Swiss Toy Fair from October 1st to October 5th, but the codes for the demo cannot be redeemed until October 15th (Source: Serebii)

Thus far we also know Japan can get their's from Corocoro.
I sure hope that it'll be easier in America. Like going to Gamestop to get the code.

You'll most likely get the code from Amazon is you pre-ordered. You may get an email and maybe it will give you a code, who knows.

That makes more sense then just sending out codes to everyone who has an Amazon account or an account with the other places :P Though they may want to use the demo to advertise to more people, I don't know. Either way I only need one code...

blue September 23rd, 2014 9:11 AM

I knew it would be around mid October but I'll definitely be going down to my local GAME store on that day. (:

Edit -French details have been revealed. There will be multiple methods, the first being through codes distributed at Paris Games Week from October 29th to November 2nd, other methods will be running from October 15th but have yet to be announced

Thank you Hoenn. I will add that to the OP.

MarinoKadame September 23rd, 2014 3:30 PM

And I wanted to just buy the game on eShop since I had to pre-order Smash Bros Wii U so I could have something to play meanwhile, just like I will do with Bayonetta 2 and Fantasy Life.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please :)

Obviously I don't know for sure, but it seems like maybe they would let you use Pokemon Bank if that was the case?

Hmm, so I am hoping for an oceanic scenery for the mega reveal, but it seems like they would take this time to reveal a legendary pokemon, so perhaps you right about Deoxys, or even Jirachi in relation to the Space Center.

YES! Totally agree lol.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 23rd, 2014 5:28 PM

I wonder what the name of the Demo will be, as it sounds like it'll only be one instead of two demos.

ggctuk September 24th, 2014 1:02 PM

I hear anybody attending MCM Comic Con London next month can also get a code.

Pepperton September 24th, 2014 6:45 PM

I don't know if I like the fact that they're giving a demo out. Hopefully, it plays out in their favor and more buy the game because of it.

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire September 24th, 2014 8:49 PM

Kinda annoying how they're not just putting it up on the e-shop. I wonder how the 'play every day' reward will work if everyone is getting it at slightly different times? Will it be everyday after release, or maybe even every day after the demo has been downloaded? Hopefully in the US/Australia the demo code will be available from Gamespot/EB, I don't wanna go to too much trouble just for a demo version.

Elite Four Lucian September 25th, 2014 9:23 AM

Well the Demo may have more in it then you think. They want to reward people who play it everyday right, it wouldnt make any sense unless they planned on having a pretty big chunk in the game for us all to play, otherwise that would make the whole "Play Everyday" Reward thing pointless.

MarinoKadame September 25th, 2014 12:50 PM

It seems I will be missing a lot for not having the demo. I can't really get the code from where I am if I need to go to a store for it.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 25th, 2014 8:24 PM

Well 20 days until the demo comes out. I hope we hear some news about the North American and Australian releases. Strangely these two places have gotten news about pre-order bonuses and the demo later than Japan and Europe...

I hope not because GameStop is known for screwing these events, you'll likely have to pre-order overpriced ORAS in order to get the demo.

IMO they should just distribute it worldwide via E-Shop, it's simple and modern.

Amen to that!
I really want the demo to be available in the E-Shop so I could get my hands on 'em. ^^

americandreamer September 26th, 2014 6:24 AM

I'm sure people will get extra codes. I'll get a few if I can and I'll be happy to share here with you all!

I really wish that they weren't treating the demo the same way they treat shop events...

It seems like South Africa's demo will see limited distribution, being given to those who go get it first.

I hope we in the states can get it through wi-fi (like an automatic download) or through the e-shop. I'm fine with Game Stop and Nintendo Zone too though, just a little annoying to go somewhere to get a demo.

MarinoKadame September 26th, 2014 6:56 PM

I prefer Nintendo Zone to Game Stop.

Altairis September 27th, 2014 2:14 PM

If Amazon is giving out codes, it's likely that they are going to be emailing them out since that is what they did with the Hyrule Warriors demo codes :)

I don't know if I'm going to be bothering with the demo or not, I mean, I'm really excited for the game but I think I would like to save my excitement for the real thing!

Ancientforest September 27th, 2014 3:01 PM

I'm on board with the eshop demo crowd. The fact that this is distributed with specific retailers using codes is pretty silly. We're not in 2002 anymore
