Nintendo recently announced that we would get to play various E3 Wii U demos live at Best Buy stores during the show. E3 is taking place in just a few short weeks, from June 11th to the 13th, and we now know when and where we will get to get our hands on those demos.


The dates and times will be as follows:

Wednesday, June 12th, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Saturday, June 15th, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

You can search Best Buy's site to find a location near you.

Who all is going to check this out? I will probably try to make the trek.

But my 3DS memory card capability blinks in-and-out of existence! I'm pretty sure that if I send it in to Nintendo again, I'll just lose all of my data.

@Anand But what if they have Mario, Metroid, and Zelda?!

I remember Cube Club way back in the days, got to play Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, and a few others before they released. So awesome.

Losing hope that the playable games will be their big guns. Really damn stupid if it isn't.

I remember... not going to that.

I wanted to, though. There was just some kind of scheduling conflict.

I could go, though, if I'm around that weekend. Just for the halibut.

Damn it, I just realized I'll have to be in school Wednesday (taking a summer course). I might actually be able to make it Saturday, even if it's just for an hour.

Hold the press, doesn't this confirm at least Wind Waker HD being playable??

At LEAST for the Summer Wii U tour....which is what this image is actually showing...



God damn I'm digging that look for Link. I sure hope the in-game model looks that sexy.

@carlosrox

I saw that too! Man, I hope the whole game looks like that Link model. The initial screens left me unimpressed, but if the whole game looks like that, they just might out-Wind Waker the original Wind Waker.

I sincerely doubt it, but I'm hoping along with you.

I'm actually off on that wednesday, so I'll be running down to Schaumburg for that. It's likely the Chicago facebook 3ds groups will be meeting up there as well, so there'll be plenty of streetpassing to be had. Probably try to make it a lil early and scope out the place and get/steal some of that Luigi swag early.
