Last week, Nintendo revealed the first way to receive a download code for the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demo. Today, the company revealed that there are a number of other available ways to receive a download code. We’ve mirrored the full list below!

  • At select movie theaters from November 7-13.
  • At select retailers throughout the holiday season.
  • With the purchase of Pokémon Art Academy.
  • With the purchase of Pokémon Puzzle Challenge or Pokémon Trading Card Game on the Virtual Console.
  • Codes will be given to select Nintendo Network ID customers who have signed up for Nintendo e-mails.
  • Codes will be given out during Nintendo’s holiday mall tour from November 24- December 21.

It seems that Nintendo is really doing its best to build awareness about this demo. While the demo for Super Smash Bros. on 3DS was released as a time-exclusive before a general release on the eShop, Nintendo seems to be taking a different approach this time. The method of release could be perceived as a little more inconvenient, but releasing it this way will make it a more public event, and increase awareness.

Of course, Poké-fans will also be pleased to see the official announcement of Pokémon Puzzle Challenge and Pokémon Trading Card Game on the Virtual Console, as well. The titles will arrive on the service November 6 and 13, respectively. While Puzzle Challenge comes as a bit of a surprise, Pokémon Trading Card Game has been out for a number of months in other territories, and is a favorite among some members of the Nintendojo staff.
