Traditionally the games that are shown at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) are usually playable only by the industry insiders who head out to the show. Â However, this year Nintendo is shaking things up a bit. Â Deciding to forgo their traditional press conference and bring games directly to the fans, at participating Best Buy locations across the United States and Canada.
Demos of Nintendo’s E3 games will be playable at 110 Best Buy locations, including 89 in the United States and 21 in Canada. The games will be playable 4-8 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 12, and 1-5 p.m. local time on Saturday, June 15.
Here’s where you can get hands-on time with Nintendo’s latest. Â Nintendo will also be hosting a special Nintendo Direct conference in lieu of their press conference ahead of E3.
