We’re about a month away from The Alliance Alive’s western launch. If you’re interested in seeing what the game has to offer, you can download a demo from the 3DS eShop. The trial is now available in North America and will begin distribution on Thursday in Europe.

Here’s what you can expect from the demo:

In the demo, you’ll be able to experience the very first steps of Galil and Azura’s adventure as they set out from The Rain Realm in search of a blue sky and get a taste of The Alliance Alive’s unique turn-based battle system. Additionally, if you complete the demo, you’ll earn a bonus of up to 4,000 Talent Points to help build up your characters’ abilities quickly once you start your adventure in the full game!

The Alliance Alive launches for 3DS on March 27. It’ll be sold physically and digitally in the Americas and digitally in Europe.

We can’t end the day without highlighting the 3DS, which is celebrating another anniversary. The portable system originally launched in Japan on February 26, 2011. It would release in other regions about a month later.

Though it’s been around for many years, 3DS has certainly showed staying power. It hasn’t sold quite as well as the DS, but it’s done very well on its own right. The handheld is home to many classics and fantastic games, and we can’t forget about the many revisions it has seen over the many years. We started out with just the 3DS, but Nintendo has also launched the 3DS XL, 2DS, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, and New 2DS XL. It’s been a wild ride.

Here’s to you, 3DS! Thanks for all of the gaming memories.
