Nintendo readies new demo disc

Playable F-Zero! Kirby! Pokémon!

Word on the street is that Nintendo is getting ready to release its second GameCube demo disc to retailers. However, the disc seems unlikely to make its way into Joe Public's hands, instead offering the chance to sample new titles in-store - a move that surely rejects Nintendo's portion of the hermit audience. The most notable inclusions include playable demos of F-Zero GX, Kirby's Air Ride and Pokémon Pinball. The disc will also contain movies featuring Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Harvest Moon: Wonderful Life, Pokémon Channel, and Tales of Symphonia. We want to play one, but sadly we're part of the aforementioned hermit market.
