I know! But unless I'm downtown on one of the days the demo unit is up, it's still a one hour trip combined.

Gonna ask this here. Does anyone know what the North York location is? There is no North York location in the store locator.

https://www-ssl.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/sec...ll-stores.aspx

I see no Best Buy in North York.

Google Maps says the Downsview location is in North York, so I'm guessing it is that.

I'm guessing I'm gonna have to wait till when Best Buy Canada puts it up on their site or something.

(edit: misunderstood, thought you were saying there wasn't any Best Buy in North York, as opposed to there not being a "North York Best Buy" :P)

If I had to guess, I would say Leaside, because that's the same Best Buy where the Wii U Experience demo was located back in October.

Ah yeah you're right -- that's East York. Yorkdale seems likely then.

I would LOVE that, but I'm guessing not, lol. :p

I don't think the "Yorkdale" one is in the mall proper, but it's quite close I believe. Just on the north side of the 401.

I used to work next to that bestbuy. It was on wilson and dufferin and that's probably the one in question.

Technically that area does count as Downsview, but when alot of people confuse the entire area for North York as Downsview was small enough anyways.

I remember reading a way that you can access Nintendo Zone content without having to go to Best Buy. You just had to change the SSID of your router. Lemme see if I can find it.

EDIT: That was easy.

There’s an easy way to access the Nintendo Zone without visiting Best Buy. Simply rename your router’s SSID to “attwifi”.

By doing this, you can connect to the Nintendo Zone and watch free Pokemon episodes and download game demos (without a play limit, I believe) straight from your home.

Well according to Wikipedia (yes I know) it is located in the district of North York, so yea. Thanks for sharing your insight.

Hmm, do I consider skipping out on work to hit up a Best Buy that will likely be overcrowded depending on the location in Edmonton? I'll wait for the list of games to come out and hope it's all garbage I didn't really want to demo anyways.

Well presumably, yes. Nintendo Zone seems to be like this web portal and not something that requires to be accessed locally. It seems you can download stuff from there, so yea.

Looks like we're being saddled with the same extreme time limitations for the Wii U E3 demos as the Americans.

The games will be playable 4-8 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 12, and 1-5 p.m. local time on Saturday, June 15.
