There is a BB ~30 minutes away from me with the Nintendo Demo Station and I'm not even considering driving that far. What demo could possibly be worth the trouble of driving that far away?
I'm about 90 minutes away from one of the participating Best Buy locations, but I have no intention of making the trek.
It isn't really the drive that's led me to that decision though. It's more a combination of not liking the stress of playing a game at a demo station with a line of people behind me and a fear that I would be disappointed by the set of demos on offer.
I certainly have no problems with driving. I have the Emeryville, San Jose, and Tracy locations to choose from, all approximately equidistant from my house. It probably won't be worth the trouble if you don't live close to one of these Best Buys or live in the same urban area.
I'll probably be going there. I have some friends who'd like to go, and this will certainly give me something to write about, as well as something different to do this summer.
I'd go to mine if the best buy up the street had it, but they ignored Tucson. There was such a small availability of these things that I don't really see the point. There was like one in my entire state.
I'm about 20 minutes from a Best Buy and they do have a Wii U kiosk set up that no one uses.
...maybe? I don't know. I hope some of those games are things that interest me. The Wii U has me interested in one game, SMT X Fire Emblem; if they can get me interested in a few more then I'll consider getting one.
Probably not. For Nintendo games you usually see enough in their direct communication videos to really know whether something will be of interest or not. Wasting a bunch of gas to play a long with something slightly before where you would otherwise get to play it does not seem like it is worthwhile.
If the demos already exist they should eventually hit eShop anyway.
