So, I hope there weren't that many people able to go to this thing... because Nintendo and Best Buy has significantly cut their list of locations. To make matters worse, each Best Buy will only have one Demo Station per store... which has the four demos on it. Since you'll be waiting most of your time, if not the entire time (as no time limit has been announced for the stations)... there will be some kind of activities and swag. They've apparently added more or still are using some others from the original list. Do NOT take the below list as CANON.

Here's the best buy material from Wheaton that shows the demos are Super Luigi U, TW101, Pikmin 3, and WWremake. Fuck this bait and switch if true.

Well, that blows. The one location in Wisconsin (which happened to be relatively on the way home from work) has been removed. As if this whole "promotion" wasn't already terrible enough with limited locations and super limited timeframes and a single demo unit per store. Oh well, the rumored list is Pikmin, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD and New Super Luigi U, none of which I feel the need to fight a big crowd to check out.

That's pretty tepid. Pikmin and W101 were both playable last year, NSLU is just DLC and TWW is a remake. These are the kind of games that should be getting on-console demos. I swear, if Mario or Kart or something new isn't going to be playable on there, I'm going to be really aggravated.

Windsor's still on Canada's list so I'm good, but I really don't know if the particular demos will be very exciting. I don't know what I was expecting though.

Hysterical LA got nixed when that's the city E3 is happening. No, I'm not thinking creatively. That's a reason NOT to have it at LA!

Mine is still on, but I can't go, too busy with work. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to take off Tuesday morning for the ND.

Well that's lovely. They nix the Best Buy located in the nice end of my town, and keep the one located in the not-so-nice end of town. @RenjakuIf this list indeed holds true, what nonsense. NSLU releases in just a handful of weeks, Pikmin releases in just a couple of months, and as noted above, Wind Waker is a remake. I was hoping for one of their unannounced games. Grumble, grumble.

@deathly_hallowsI'm not taking work off for the Nintendo Direct. But I am going on a Social Media Black Out. From 10am Tuesday on I will not view NintendoWorldReport, Negative World, Twitter, Facebook, or even my E-mail (at risk of Nintendo e-mailing me about shit). I will come home after work with a direct link to the show and watch it with a Slurpee. Then I will come here and join the fun and discussion. We're recording the NW podcast about it Wednesday after work.\ @NoNameI should have named this news article... "I've Got Some Interesting News About The Best Buy E3 Demos..."

@TriforceBun That's the rumored list so nothing is confirmed, but yeah, lame if true. DLC and a remake of games I already own, and two games that we've seen plenty of videos and have even been playable outside of E3 already. I'll be really disappointed if that's the real lineup. (Oh wait, no I won't, because they canceled the only location in my entire state.)

If true, Nintendo has missed a golden opportunity. Sigh.

@rebonackYet again, Texas wins. The Woodlands is closest to my new office, which I start on Monday, but the traffic up there is a nightmare after work which would be the only time I could go =/ If that rumored list of games is true, then it's not worth a trip.

@DrFinkelsteinSounds like an awesome plan! I might try to copy you, but it will be hard to not read anything during the day...

Nothing changed here but if those are the 4 demos at least I won't regret not going to the other end of the city for it.

@deathly_hallowsJust remember it'll be there when you get home and that seeing it but not being able to fully partake will SUCK. So savor it after work.

If that is the final demo list then I probably won't even bother going. Blah.
