If you've always dreamt of going to E3 and playing all of the unreleased games before your friends, family, dog, cat, and pet tarantula, Nintendo wants you to go to Best Buy instead. The Big N is heading to America's favorite big-box retailer (screw you Circuit City) with all of their E3 games in tow.
As announced earlier this month, Nintendo will make their E3 software available at Best Buys across the country. Put on a fancy metallic badge, possibly with an advertisement sticking out of it, and you'll feel like you're really at E3. OK, I'll shut up. You're just here for the list:
[Update]: Here are the specific dates and times for Nintendo's E3 Best Buy events. If you're like me and live near a city below that has more than one Best Buy, you can head to the retailer's website for more details and store contact information.
June 12th, 4 p.m. – 8 p.m.
