Those lucky Japanese have received a bunch of 3DS demos, head inside for more information and a video of the Resident Evil: Revelations demo.

Want to play a 3DS game before you buy it? Now you can without going all the way to some event as Nintendo announced that downloadable demos of retail 3DS games have hit the Nintendo eShop... in Japan.

The downloadable demos in question are all high profile games such as Theatrhythm, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, Rhythm Thief and Resident Evil: Revelations.

There's sadly still no confirmation on whether Europe or America will get their hands on these free demos but stay tuned for the latest information.
