    Doesn't appear to be disabled. I'm unfamiliar with European Kiosk disks. Do any of them have Super Smash Bros. Melee or Mario Party 4 as a playable demo?

    These would be the only PAL Kiosk demos I'm interested in at the moment:
    May 2002
    November 2002
    December 2002
    June 2003
    November 2004
    Assuming these are PAL UK European from the list: (Could be Australian, though I only know of September 2002 existing for the region. This may also only cover one European region, as I think there were three entirely different sets of demos released in UK, Spain and Germany. Japan also had a set too.)

    I have Eur 11/2004. Also a bunch of the US "version" rather than date - 15 to 40. PM if you're interested.

    Yep, still looking for these. Did Nintendo only produce and distribute around 100 of each demo, or did they take many of them back and destroy them like I've heard?

    It'll be well into the thousands per disc on account of how many game stores there are with kiosks in. Were they even supposed to be returned? I assumed stores were told to destroy them.

    Can't remember where we got to with those two discs, PM me again if you're interested.

    From what I read from wherever ages ago, so don't quote me.
    Nintendo supposedly had representatives go to the stores to pick the Iiosk Interactives up and presumable send them back to Nintendo to meet their wasteful demise. I find this to be questionable since I doubt Nintendo would waste money on hiring people to pick the demos up unless, Nintendo cared that much... probably this was for the huge Kiosk Unit itself. If anything, Nintendo had return envelopes or something of the like.

    Nintendo reps would remove old Gamecube demo discs from retail kiosks & replace them with new ones. For versions up through around 15, reps were instructed to return them to Nintendo to be destroyed. Later, since this was a wasteful use of shipping costs & resources, reps were told to either throw them away or let the retail employees keep them if they asked for them.

    Far more than 100 of each demo were made; Nintendo reps received one demo for each of the stores they were assigned to. If I remember correctly, discs with black inserts had games rated T (or maybe just M?) or higher on them in either playable or trailer form: those were used in game stores such as Gsmestop, EB, Game Crazy etc. The ones with white inserts had mostly E rated content and were for Target, Kmart, Wal-Mart, etc. Sometimes games stores got the same ones with white inserts too, though.

    If one rep got sn average of 40 copies per demo, with around 80 reps in the country, that's a lot of copies pressed. But since any were destroyed, this is why they are sometimes difficult to find (especially the earliest versions).

    Guess we'll have to find out from Nintendo in some way if want to know what the deal is with releasing their demos.

    I'm also looking for a Playstation 1 or 2 demo disk that shows a CD making factory if anyone even knows what I'm talking about.

    Not sure. Maybe $60 complete.

    Also, I have an extra October Gamecube demo in excellent condition for Trade. Luigi's Mansion is playable on it.
