    Default Nintendo DS store demo's

    I have a question about the demo games in the DS units in stores, what do they look like? ive seen a meteos cart with "not for resale" on it, would that be a store demo? if not what is it?

    They look just like normal DS games. Except they have a Not For Resale print on the label of the DS card, thus making them Store Demo carts.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    yep... they're just regular ds cards.

    there's actually a surprising amount of variety between store demos. some have white label on the back of the card, like pookninja said. the label says that it's a demo and marks it NFR... but just because it has this sticker doesn't mean that it's a STORE demo. for example, the GDC version of brain age had this label, but was a full version of the game marked 'demo' for promo purposes.

    some of the demos have demo/NFR marked on the front, but are actually just full versions of the games given to the stores for kiosks, but not limited in content. there's a lot of these.

    other store demos (like metroid prime pinball) don't have the demo/NFR marking at all on the front label at all... and they're just full versions of the game... so it's like having a full version copy with a white label on the back.

    you just have to learn what's out there...
