Nintendo is making Super Smash Bros a headliner at E3 this year, with an invitational tournament. If you can't make it out to Los Angeles, though, you can still try it by visiting a Best Buy as part of Nintendo's partnership to set up demo stations during the event. Today the company has detailed just where and when you'll be able to smash.

According to the official site, you'll have two chances to play: first on Wednesday, June 11 from 4 PM to 9 PM, and then on Saturday, June 14 from noon to 5 PM. You can use a store locator to find the nearest participating location. The announcement also confirmed that this Wii U demo will be the same one playable at E3.

If you do show up at the demo, you can get a collectible coin for being one of the first 70 people to pre-order. Picking up your copy (for Wii U or 3DS) when the game launches later this year will also net you a $5 Rewards Zone certificate.

        Yes Best Buy. I have never pooped in a Best Buy. Is it possible for one to poop in a Best Buy?

        Actually prices online like Amazon for newer stuff is on par with Best Buy. I was tempted to get a G602 mouse at BB and it was the same price as AMZ. The K400 keyboard was another I wanted and was within a dollar of the cost on AMZ.

        AMZ charges sales tax now so it'll be the same price, only difference is BB I don't have to wait for shipping.

          Best Buy also offers free Wi-Fi to allow people to surf Amazon and price match at the store. It's nice for whenever I need something at an Amazon price without having to wait for shipping.

            Agreed, people love to shit on best buy but it's really not that bad anymore. For those of us not lucky enough to be near a microcenter or frys it's the next best thing

      i use the best buy at our mall for easy parking for the rest of the mall, since it's always empty.

      When you want to prove your company isn't a relic of a bygone era, and that you aren't currently flopping around following trends and trying to figure out an online strategy a decade too late, you should definitely partner with Nintendo or Best Buy, whichever feels right at the moment.
