Nintendo Best Buy E3 demo locations listed
89 stores in U.S. and 21 in Canada host Wii U previews
Nintendo and Best Buy today revealed the 89 U.S. retail locations which will host E3-style Wii U previews. Canadian gamers will also be able to try the demos at 21 as yet unannounced Best Buy locations.
The demos will be playable from 4 to 8 p.m. local time on June 12, and then from 1 to 5 p.m. on June 15. Nintendo did not reveal which games will be playable, but it wouldn't be the true (simulated) E3 experience without a couple of surprises thrown in. In accordance with the Year of Luigi rites, "Luigi loot and hot offers on Wii U" will also be on hand.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
