Knoxville, TN. Huh. Guess I'll check it out!

 

[Ricker]

I hope there is one in the Montreal area...might go take a look(willing to drive up to Repentigny even).

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I hope they update the demos in the Wii U kiosks at ALL Best Buys after E3, even if it's just with one new game like New Super Luigi U or Mario Kart.

Was worried there was no NYC location, but seems like Nintendo World Store will be doing it instead

On 6/11 @ 10 AM EST watch Nintendo’s #E3 Direct at #NintendoWorld! Be one of the first to take part in the action & play our featured games!

 

[BloodyJasonMask]

I will most definitely check out the Memphis locations.

 

[megarockexe]

No OC locations, ugh. Why such a limited time and day window? This is software!

Thanks God.. damn lol

 

[Kid Ska]

Pittsburgh!
Eh, not that I'm actually going to go. Those places will be swamped.

 

[rSpooky]

VaBeach..OOOhh Yeah.

Fellow Georgians:
Isn't the 'Duluth' store the one at the intersection of I-85 and Pleasant Hill? That's very reachable for Metro Atlantans.
Also, the 'Smryna' store is the one on Cobb Parkway just north of 285.

Yep, both are very reachable.

yay...will go there

 

[trixx]

Didn't they say that the demos will be available on e-shop?

Tweet is gone. Strange.

That makes sense, honestly. Store'll be crowded that day, I bet.

edit: wait, I was just looking at it a few minutes ago, and now it's gone...dun dun dun

Maybe it was announced too soon.

Why does average salary man have to work that day? :\

 

[CaptainABAB]

Why only two 4-hour blocks?

100% guarantee it is going to be a Cluster-F where the chance of actually trying or seeing these demos is zero.

No surprise; good news. Seems they deleted the tweet, though...

 

[Kandinsky]

I bet the demos will be at the Eshop

It would be stupid not to

Nintendo.

Part of the Wii's popularity was due to hype building off of pre-existing hype. I think Nintendo's trying to recreate that Wii hype.

 

[Korosenai]

North little rock Arkansas for me if they have smash bros.

 

[Rapscallion]

Woo! Emeryville Best Buy is walking distance from my job!

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

So there's no NYC location because we'll be able to go to Nintendo World, right?

...

That's what I'm hoping. :[

 

[Phenomic]

Figures none are nearby for me. Closest one is an hour away, but I don't feel like driving that far.

Three hour drive to test some E3 demos.... thanks Nintendo. I'm totally not surprised though.

Why can't I just get them for buying a Wii U? I get that they need to demo kisoks, so people who don't have one can try it out, but I feel like a fool for buying in early. Should throw us a bone for sure.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Awwwwwww yeah.

That's the closest to me as well!

 

[RagnarokX]

Visalia instead of Fresno? Fuck. That's almost an hour drive.

 

[MisterHero]

Eden Prairie can go to hell!

I imagine.. and this may be pie in the sky.. but want to have staff there to properly showcase the games/fix the machines if they break.

Probably also why you won't see it on eShop.

Yo damn, between you and that other guy apparently there are a lot of gaffers in NLR.

 

[Shaffield]

Cool beans, I can roll over to Smyrna to try some stuff out. I would love to play the Pikmin demo

 

[Kusagari]

Oohh Gainesville is on the list?

Guess I'm going to get to try this out.

 

[Meelow]

Hopefully they add more, considering this isn't the full list.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

I truly lucked out in Louisiana. The Best Buy in Harvey is very close. I want those four hours all to myself, but for Nintendo's sake, I hope more people show up.

 

[Father_Brain]

Do some NYC people not realize Long Island City is in Queens? That Best Buy is by an R station.

Yeah, it's very strange that they aren't doing it at any of the locations in Manhattan, but it's not that hard to get to.

 

[meow]

Was thinking about taking my sister but the one closest to us is still kinda far. Missing out on that "Luigi loot."

 

[BuzzJive]

4 hours on a Wednesday and 4 hours on a Saturday? That's a pretty pathetic amount of time. All I know is that I better get a chance to play Mario Kart.

 

[atomsk]

all 3 are an hour+ away from me in NJ, no thanks Nintendo. Please Understand.

And only 8 hours? ENJOY THE GENUINE STANDING IN A LINE E3 EXPERIENCE

What a clusterfuck

 

[Ryoku]

Wheaton, MD.

Good!

 

[Gold_Loot]

None near me, but It's hard to feel let down when I don't even know if what they show will interest me.

 

[razgriz417]

such small time windows, guess I'll be missing these

 

[Badosh]

Minnesota (Home of Best Buy) gets one location, yay!

 

[Pagusas]

Sweet, Bloomington, IL is my town

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Need Canada locations.

Yep. I need Montreal.

 

[Ridley327]

No leaks from Best Buy employees yet ? xD

Everything is being handled by Nintendo themselves, so there's nothing for us to leak.

 

[Boards of Canada]

Canada please.

Yeah, I was trying to figure that out

Kind of mind boggling they are using that Best Buy (which is old, somewhat run down, and near the under-construction I-85 exit) rather than the much more convenient and popular Mall of Georgia one.

 

[Mrbob]

Only Greenfield in Wisconsin? Such a small window too. Gtfo Nintendo.

You have access to the internet. Make this available to everyone. Why can't I download these games? :/

if so that's not too bad. I'll only stop by if I'm already in the area on business

Also, in this thread I discovered a lot of GAF members representin' in GA!

 

[gamergirly]

How the hell did Atlanta get skipped lol

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Can't wait to go to Texas, then. It would be great if Best Buy stores in Mexico participated in this, too

 

[Locklore64]

Looks under Texas, doesn't find Lubbock.

Of course not.

Same here, looked for Amarillo. Shoulda known. Gotta love living in the Panhandle
