The good news is that I'm not even sad that I won't be able to make it to a participating Best Buy to play any of these sequels/remakes.

That's definitely a better list than I expected.  I'd be curious enough to try out the newly announced games if I'm going to be in the area, anyway.

As someone who is at work and hasn't seen the nintendo direct yet, how good do these games look?

I'd go try the Super Mario 3D World demo if there was a location within reasonable (ie: less than 2 hours one-way) drive.  Not the case though.


Not really sure why these demos are so restricted. Aren't all of these games coming out fairly soon?  I'm surprised they couldn't have made stable demos that could be shown nation-wide instead of in such select locations.

Most are soon, Mario Kart 8 is Spring 2014 though.

I would love to try these, but I am not driving an hour to do it (especially not for only 5-10 minutes).
