Capcom has quite possibly jumped the shark with news that it plans to sell a demo of upcoming 3DS titleNazo Waku Yakata. For ¥200, people will be able to download the first chapter of the game. Other chapters may be available later, but for right now, this is a paid sample of the full retail title.

Seriously, Capcom? We’re expected to purchasedemosnow? And I thought theEA Season Ticketwas gauche.

As well as the demo, an “interactive sample” of the game has appeared online, giving you a taste of what’s on offer via the magic of your PC. It features “3D audio” and visuals from the title, and you cancheck out the experience right here.

The PC-based sample is cool, but Capcom has got to be doing crack if it thinks I’m willing to start paying for demos.
