Holiday shoppers from coast to coast will soon get a firsthand look and hands-on time with Nintendo’s groundbreaking new Wii U console. Starting now, more than 5,000 interactive Wii U kiosks will roll out at select retail stores across the United States, inviting families and consumers to discover the unique gaming and entertainment experiences made possible by Wii U and its touch-screen Wii U GamePad controller.
Participating retailers include Target, Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart and Toys ‘R’ Us. Depending on which type of Wii U sampling station is available at a given store location, visitors may be able to experience hands-on game play or enjoy specially created video content that highlights the console’s wide variety of available games and features. Consumers will be able to get more information about launch games like Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros. U and SiNG PARTY, along with ZombiU and Rayman Legends from Ubisoft, among others.

Tried it out at Best Buy and it was awesomeeeeeeee
Give my a gum gum fruit I want to be stretchy too
Wii U I luv U
I’ve been to a few stores that have these kiosks up, but all of them only include a playable demo for Rayman Legends and then a bunch of videos for other launch titles. When I can try out Nintendo Land, I’m all over it!
Same here. I tried one at GameStop on 10/31. It only had Rayman but I want to get my hands on ZombiU!!!
I hope they have 1 on my gamestop soon
Played it at my local best buy! i love it
I sort of dont want to play it or see it in person until I buy one on launch day. Don’t really know why but I think it’s because I’ve been waiting for more then a year and want all my excitement to burst out all at once and by playing it before hand will ruin it… I think that’s it.
Same here, if I played it in store, it kinda takes the excitement out of unboxing it and playing it on launch day. I didn’t touch a demo 3DS until I already had mine (to try out Street Fighter on).
Exactly
same (tho i couldn’t go to demo stations even if i wanted to xD)
Tried it at Target, it was amazing!
I played with myself at gamestop…. I mean i played with it myself at gamestop…
Why couldn’t you have done both?
Kids.
That is 5 thousand more units that we could have preordered… sigh!
Those are not new console they would send the 1s they used for the nintendo xperiance
Is it USA only? ’cause i’m canadian
DEEERRRRR SHOULD READ, DUMBAAASSS DX
Damn I want to try it! Guess I’ll wait 2 more weeks for it to arrive at my house.
The GameStop right outside my neighborhood has one. Rayman Legends was really fun, more fun than any recent 2D console platformer i’ve played (haven’t played DKCR yet). I might actually get it :)
Just 2 more weeks until Nintendo sets it off with the Wii U Launch. Welcome to the month of U-vember!!!!
They completely butchered a great song.
You’re right. Nintendo should have hired a better recording artist instead. Hope you have enjoyed the “remix”.
Aaaaaaaaaand the closest one to me is 100 miles away…in St. Louis…Meh.
The map isn’t completely accurate, I have one of the demo stations at my GameStop and it’s not listed.
Last time I was in GS, no Wii U station was set up (And I never bothered to ask if one was coming). Same with Best Buy. It doesn’t concern me a lot.
Lucky,I went to my best buy and it wasn’t there,ironically I didn’t check gamestop.
The closest one to me is garden city,so I’ll just wait for it to be at my town.
any in europe? because i’m not sure what the wii u is! is it a new controller for the wii that boosts the graphics?
Put something besides rayman since its coming out in March, throw some zombi u or Mario u on that bitch…..
Personally I don’t want to touch the Wii U until.I get my launch day deluxe
same

I played the demo for Rayman legends at a local gamespot. Man, that game looks beautiful! and I am very impress with the Wii U console. Well done, Nintendo, you got yourself a client.

Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.
It’s about time. Nintendo waited WAY too late to do this. They should have had these in stores 2 months ago.
Tried this on a gamestop.The only dem they had on it is Rayman Legends.At least it’s fun.
