Where to Play Nintendo Wii U E3 Demos at Best Buy

Published

on

This year at E3 Nintendo won’t hold a typical big press conference, though it will do its best to bring E3 to the public via a partnership with Best Buy.

During E3 100 Best Buy stores across the U.S. and Canada will have Nintendo’s E3 demos on display. Today the company announced the 89 stores in the U.S. that will have the games available to play, though Nintendo is making gamers wait until E3 to find out what games will be there.

Best Buy Nintendo Experience

The Nintendo E3 games will only be in stores for a few hours on two days during the week of E3. On Wednesday June 12 gamers can play the Wii U game demos from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. local time. The second session is on Saturday, June 15. On that day gamers can play the E3 demos from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

Nintendo will announce the list of games on June 11, the same day as its pre-E3 Nintendo Direct. The game demos will likely include unannounced Wii U titles such as a new 3D Mario and a new Mario Kart, both of which Nintendo promised it will show off at E3.

The Best Buy stores that hold the demos will also have some Luigi-themed items to give away to go along with Nintendo’s “Year of Luigi” promotion as well as “hot offers on Wii U.”

      They should be on the Canadian Best Buy website. I think I saw them earlier.
