...Are they..are they blackmailing us?

Yes and no. The hardcore of Legends fans were buying this regardless, so it doesn't really affect them. The real issue lies with those Legends fans that don't have a 3DS yet and cannot buy one by the time this demo comes out. I already know like 3 people who were waiting for this game to come out before buying their 3DS, and now they're essentially being told that if they don't buy one now and buy this demo, there's a chance we don't see the game.

Which just means you don't have to burn all your money in one go when games do start coming out.

That just some major ass pulling there.  I'm one of the few don't have any money with me at the moment to go and buy the 3DS and are waiting until later to do so.

[tornado fang] you Capcom...course the english version might come out to in late summer or even later than that. I, as well as the rest of the Legends fanbase who still hasn't gotten their mitts on a 3DS, will hopefully have enough money for the system, the game, plus SSFIV by then.

Course the game could come out between late and mid summer as well. Hopefully the 8,000 + Jap fans that have joined the devroom, plus any curious consumers (with good tastes hopefully) will be enough to green light this thing. Of course the US side should really pull in a few more fans, least we risk having the game only come out in Japanese side.

It's worldwide I think. It's confirmed and announced for Japanese and America systems at least. >U<

Then I will hand them my money.

As soon as I have my 3DS.

Which will be just when the demo releases. Coincidence? I think not.

My only concern, really, is that Capcom's marketing big-wigs will stop to consider how the prototype's sales compare to the e-Shop's in general, rather than holding some unrealistic absolute mark on an unproven outlet.  We don't need a repeat of the PSP games.

It ought to help that the asking price is a mere 2 bucks, though.  That has to kick the crap out of any competition they'll face value-wise; on DSiWare it gets you a frikkin round of Tic-Tac-Toe.

I heard that 3DS sales aren't so good right now.

So, the game could sell well, and still be doomed by the fact that it's on 3DS.

Capcom, I hope you've got the defensive turrets set up.

Saw it coming from a mile away.

Was going to pick it up anyway just to dick around with it (debug tools? Yes please.) but this is rather typical of current day Capcom. They LOVE paid DLC for every little thing.

No wonder Inafune got the hell out of there.

Regarding that 3DS eShop:

How can I buy things anyway? Does it work with points? A la Wii? Or do I need to enter a credit card number somewhere? I hope it's points.

I don't know if they announced "currency" cards yet, since the eShop is using regular currency (Yen, Dollar, Euro) instead of points. Credit Cards will definitely work tho. The whole buying and adding currency to your account will be similar to the Wii/DSi at the least. ^^;

Now I REALLY wish the main game will go retail after the demo. Now it's a good thing to be a little biased about Sony's money-based system now: It has additional points cards found in stores. When will the 3DS start releasing those before L3 comes out?  B(

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

The "Prototype" is downloadable from the eShop.
Sources from Capcom said that the full game will be a retail game (cartridge).

Glad im not the only one seeing the similarity.

Releasing a demo on a system that is brand new, when not everyone will have it yet. And making THAT the green light indicator.

Capcom really has lost their marbles.
No wonder Inafune got the hell out of there.

Not to mention it has pretty much nothing to compete with in the 3DSware section or however they'll call it.

Or maybe they haven't gone mad, in a sense--they just found a way to cancel Mr. Inafune's other big project while making it look like they still want to give it a chance. And if it doesn't sell well enough, they can rub it in.
