We’ve reported previously about Nintendo’s plan to demo its E3 2013 game lineup at Best Buy stores nationwide, and now we know the cities and locations where those Wii U demos and 3DS demos will take place.
Games shown at E3 are usually playable only by media and industry insiders, but Nintendo and Best Buy are teaming up to make sure people across North America can get their hands on a select list of Nintendo’s E3 games. Demos of the games will be playable at 110 Best Buy locations total (89 in the United States and 21 in Canada). The games will be playable from 4pm-8pm on Wednesday, June 12, and from 1pm-5pm on Saturday, June 15.
The cities in each state that will get the E3 demos are listed below. The list omits some major cities, which seems a bit odd, but Nintendo did say that specific Best Buy locations are subject to change. It doesn’t appear that the cities are subject to change as well, but to miss Best Buy’s own headquarters city — just as one example — is flat-out weird given the partnership. At any rate, a full list of specific store locations is available at this Best Buy page.
