After weeks of waiting, the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy finally hit the North American eShop. The download went live on the store just a few hours ago.

All of that waiting may have payed off. It looks like we have our first eShop demo that doesn’t contain a play limit – you can try out the demo as many times as you’d like.

I don’t think this is the same situation with the Japanese/European demo version, but I could be wrong. In any case, let’s hope future demos also forgo play limitations.

There’s even more good news: La-Mulana should be available in Europe on the same day as the US release. A price point hasn’t been announced yet, but count on it being similar to the North American points amount.

It was nothing but gloom and doom for Nintendo before the Wii launched. The company is finding itself in a similar situation with Wii U.

Colin Sebastian, an analyst for Robert W. Baird & Co., believes that the console will not easily attract the attention of mainstream consumers. Sebastian believes that the core Nintendo fanbase will be interested in Wii U and boost sales, but the looming announcements of Microsoft and Sony’s next-gen consoles could have a negative impact.

“We remain concerned that Nintendo is missing an opportunity to build greater mindshare ahead of the [supposed] Wii U launch on November 18. While initial strong sales are likely given the Nintendo fanbase, we believe there may be a narrow window of opportunity to generate broad consumer interest before next-gen Microsoft and Sony platforms are announced in [first half of 2013] and launch in Q4 2013.”

Sebastian also mentioned that he expects Nintendo to announce a Wii U price point in the range of $249-$299. The news will be shared during a press event in New York City on September 13.
