Traffic Jam on the eShop tonight?

On 02/28/2013 at 07:16 PM by mothman

I've tried twice to download the Castlevania Lords of Shadow demo (oh yeah baby it's up) and it's running like a dog and crapping out. The second time I got 80% done and it barfed. There's also a Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate demo up too.

I'm back on again and it's working now. Three new demos. The Monster Hunter demo is the biggest demo yet.

Yep, it's just over 1600 blocks but I have it now. I'm playing the Etrian demo right now.

I have to charge my 3DS (goddammit!) so I'm downloading Monster Hunter demo and Castlevania. Will blog about it.

I have all three of these demos and I've yet to play the Monster Hunter or Etrian ones yet. I just finished the Castlevania demo and I'm going to post a blog about it, haha.

I set it up to download and walked away from it last night, and it seemed to work fine, but I dunno how long it took.

Doesn't it suck that in this "instant gratification" world where everything is just a download away, you still get stopped cold by failed download attempts? That really grinds my gears!

LOL, it certainly does Jamie. The one thing I did discover about the 3DS is that if you fail at say 80% you don't lose it on your next attempt. When I finally got it to work it took seconds to get to where it was before and then continued normally.

So my gears were not completely ground.
