Rie’s Quick Guide to Mario Tennis Aces

Hi, everyone. It’s me, Rie Kanari, N Masters Official Representative. ^_^

So Link-NM told me I could post and share this with all of you who are now trying Mario Tennis Aces through its Online Tournament Demo, specially since a lot of you seem to be new to the franchise. Continue reading “Rie’s Quick Guide to Mario Tennis Aces”

Sushi Striker’s two versions

As I mentioned in my previous post, Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido’s situation is different than the one of Mario Tennis Aces and its Online Tournament Demo. You can also have two copies of the game’s demo, as shown in the screenshot below. Continue reading “Sushi Striker’s two versions”

Mario Tennis Aces Online Tournament Demo will be region locked

As proven by the screenshot below, Mario Tennis Aces: Online Tournament Demo seems to be region locked. While the software inside seems to be the exact same one, the internal IDs are different, so you can have two copies of the demo on your Switch.

What this means is that you won’t be able to play against people from other regions during the demo. (Which is proven by the fact that each region has their own schedule to play the demo.)

So far, it seems the full version will not be region locked, though, as it is possible to open the Japanese eShop listing through the American demo.

(Sushi Striker’s case is a bit different which I’ll explain in a different post.)

Glitches in PixelJunk Monsters 2 Demo

Got the demo of PixelJunk Monsters 2 on Nintendo Switch a while ago.  Downloaded it through the Japanese eShop since it wasn’t available yet on any other region. (I think it is now available now, btw)

Anyway, the point of this post is just to share a few glitches that I experienced while playing it, and maybe the reason why this demo wasn’t available outside of Japan yet. (or maybe the glitches are still there, XD ) (Update on this situation below)

The demo is supposed to have English support and I was playing with my Switch set to English during the whole time.

Suddenly, all these menus became in Japanese while I was playing.
While using both joycons as one controller, everything seemed fine…
…but then I switched to single joycon and the Switch suddenly has L1 and R1 buttons? XD (A leftover from the PS4 version.)
Whatever you used as controller for P2, it always showed the right joycon.

UPDATE: A few minutes after this post was published, I got a reply on Twitter that confirms that these glitches do not exist anymore in the full version of the game.

I can also confirm that the software in the demo version that is accessible through the American eShop is the same as the Japanese one, even though the ID seems to be different. (So you can essentially have the demo two times in case you want to do that by some reason.) The glitches still work in this version (demo v 1.0) in case you want to check them out.
