Over the summer months Nintendo of America has been taking its Play Nintendo Tour around the US, a 2DS / 3DS event that's offered various games for attendees to try out while enjoying the luxuries of themed furniture, StreetPass hits and competitions.
Up until now the featured games have been those already available in stores, but Nintendo of America has now confirmed that for the final few weeks of the tour Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS will be playable.
Below are the details of the final three legs in which gamers will have a chance to try out the October release.
- August 15-17 — Atlanta, GA — Mall of Georgia, 3333 Buford Drive, Buford, GA 30519
- August 22-24 — Houston, TX — The Galleria, 5085 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX 77056
- August 29-September 1 — Irvine, CA — Irvine Spectrum Center, 71 Fortune Drive, Irvine, CA 92618
Are you planning to head to any of these events to try it out, or will you join the legions on Twitter demanded an eShop demo so all can play? Maybe both? Let us know.

Grrr..... they coulda stopped by Savannah Ga...
And if you don't live in any of these states you're s*** out of luck. #TryAgain
It's never a good idea to get excited about a Smash Bros demo event...
Got excited for nothing... missed my chance to get NYCC tickets so can't play Wii U again either
Again, it's the US. Everything happens in the US.
Is there not a Nintendo of Europe that can do the same thing?
Great one more chance of me not playing smash bros.
I wanna go so bad, but I live in Mississippi. Nintendo Y U do dis Dx
Unrelated, but this is an amazing idea

@Nik-Davies Thank you for sharing this.
Yay I live in Indiana. The closest one of those is still about 12 hours away from me driving. Lame. Why wasn't this available at ALL locations from the start?!
They should've just called it, Nintendo of Georgia, Texas & California, Nintendo of America should imply that it'd go too all 50 freaking States. >_<
At the very least, they should've released a Demo of it on the Eshop, asap.
@S3OL Don't get too down. The US is gigantic and there are only a few events. And even for those lucky few who can go, they're overcrowded beyond belief as a result.
Wish they could release a demo on the eshop...
@S3OL Considering the US is bigger than all of Europe, it's not that great
@WaLzgi I just can't but feel left out out here.
@S3OL So do I with those Smash sales (especially the Megaman I-VI sale)
Too bad it's just too late !!!
Florida left out...go figure. >_>
"or will you join the legions on Twitter demanded an eShop demo so all can play?"
I'm not a Twitter guy, but I think demos should be on the eShop. We should all be demandING it
@Jahir Yeah, the SM4SH sales are great. I can't see them being limited to Europe though, that'd be ridiculous.
Wow. These are literally on the other side of the continent from me. (I live in Florida)
@ColdingLight what's your profile picture from??
YEEEES! I live in Texas! This is going to be my third time playing Smash Bros. for 3DS!!
I'm really sorry for all of you who couldn't go...
Hmm... Georgia isn't too far from Alabama....
Canada has the same kind of tour but I don't live in Toronto. I wish we had events like that here.
Will go to the Irvine one!
Anyone know what time these things start? Looking forward to it!
The hype is real.
@S3OL I feel ya.
I guess I won't be trying Smash before it comes out, sadly.
@The_Ninja Let's hope for a sneaky eShop demo.
@S3OL There have been chances in Europe though much less available. Hyper Japan, Gamescom and EGX London were the only options.
I was at the Atlanta event yesterday and wrote my thoughts here: http://tay.kotaku.com/i-played-super-smash-bros-for-3ds-today-who-wants-to-1622380392
For TL;DR, I was a bit disappointed... the characters are hard to see on even the 3DS XL screen, and the controls are slippery. Hopefully the final retail version will be better.
@Grumblevolcano I see, well thanks for letting me know! I'm nowhere near any of the venues but it's nice to know that there were some opportunities.
I vote for the demo since the tour is not coming anywhere near me.
@S3OL
I love how you write Smash as SM4SH, it makes a lot of sense for this iteration.
@sinalefa Haha yeah, it's a name I picked up from someone else and haven't been able to stop using it. It's so clever.
@TheSwagMaster98 Don't worry about it, haha.
