No word on the timing for when the free demos will be hitting 3DS in other regions. Iwata also talked a bit more about the upcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising and how multiplayer will work during his live online stream broadcast.

Starting today in Japan, the e-Shop is getting batch of new 3D videos, as well as demos for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, Rhythm Thief & The Emperor’s theatre, New Love Plus and Resident Evil: Revelations, Iwata said. The demos are all available in the new “demos” section of the e-Shop.

He also said that Nintendo plans to start having monthly 3D picture contests starting next month with celebrity judges picking out winner who will receive new Nintendo goodies.
