Fans of Nintendo games are undoubtedly eager to get their hands on a demo for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which recently revealed its final fighters in the base roster. With that, Nintendo of America announced through press release of the "Nintendo Switch Holiday Experience," which will let fans try out titles like Smash Bros. and Pokemon: Let's Go at select shopping centers.
Besides those two, this elaborate demo display will include demos for already-released games, including Super Mario Party, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Just Dance 2019, and Overcooked 2. Additionally, the space will provide a Fortnite-themed photo booth, and a demo for the Nintendo Labo Vehicle Kit.
With the holidays approaching, this "experience" will help parents make informed decisions about what to buy as gifts for their children, and will help me finally scratch that Smash Bros. itch since I don't expect an eShop demo any time soon.
TheNintendo Switch Holiday Experience will be at several shopping centers from November 10 to December 16, although Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee! will not be present at the centers until November 16. A list of the participating shopping centers is below, and as one of them is near me, you can bet your ass that I'll be there.
