    quote by Nintendo Life

    In a rather surprising and unprecedented move, Nintendo of America
    has announced that it has partnered with Best Buy for the retailer to
    showcase playable demos of Nintendo's E3 offerings during the week of
    the conference. While no details were announced about which titles will
    be playable, it has been confirmed that over 100 Best Buy locations will
    be participating in the event.

    This is certainly the first time we've heard of any game company
    reaching out to let the public try products usually reserved for
    industry professionals or expo attendees, in this sort of timed way, at
    least. Will you be heading to Best Buy this June to see what's on offer?



    This sounds like a good idea, However I don't think the demos will be at a Best Buy near me.

    Hopefully they will be at my Best Buy which is very close to my house. (only like 2 minutes away Razz) If not, there is another one I could try. Hopefully it'll be at one of them, because I'd definitely want to try out some of those demos. (if not ALL of those demos lol)

    Some Best Buys in Canada are part of this.

    I was thinking when he said that, there aren't actually any Best Buys in Canada. But there are, here's the website for the Canadian one. Razz

    I guess this is sorta off-topic, but I go to Best Buy at least 2 or 3 times every month. I really like to go there, seeing what they have and stuff. Razz I never get my games there, but this event might be a time that I actually even go in the games section there.

    Hm, you may actually be right about that Gameguy. They never stated it would only be around the games sections in Best Buy stores. So if that is the case, probably still won't go to thw games section. Razz

    I think they should also allow you to download the demos on your Wii U or 3DS...

    Unfortunately, only 89 Best Buy stores in the US and 21 in Canada will actually be participating in this. That's really disappointing to me because my Best Buy is ansmaller one, so it likey will not have them.

    They will be available on June 12th from 4 PM-8 PM, as well as on June 15th from 1 PM-5 PM.

    You can find the Canada Locations here and the the US ones here .
    Best Buy will also give out free Luigi Loots while supplies last.

    My two local Best Buy's are not taking part in this. However I plan on going to the Elk Grove location on June 15th.

    Nowhere that's even close to where I live is...however if I do happen to be somewhere else on June 12th or 15th and it js one of those ares, I'll try to be able to go there. I knew it wouldn't be at my Best Buy.

    But also, couldn't they have just allowed you to download them on the Wii U eShop? That would be better...
