For the most part, the Pokemon Sun/Moon demo is the same on all 3DS systems. The experience itself is exactly the same obviously. Differences on New 3DS and regular 3DS (plus 2DS) systems come down to how it runs.

Just as we’ve talked about before, the demo disables things like Miiverse on older 3DS systems. It also causes the system to fully reboot when it’s closed.

You can view a comparison video between the New 3DS and regular 3DS below. Again, they’re mostly the same, though the New 3DS seems to handle the last battle better in terms of performance.

The NES Classic Edition isn’t Nintendo’s first crack at emulating past games, though it might be its best attempt yet. GameXplain put together a video that shows how the hardware’s emulation stacks up against the Wii U Virtual Console, and it seems rather clear which one does the better job. View the full video below.
