WW HD late september-October confirmed. That list is basicall each game in order of release for NA.
Oh lol... NSLU? Seriously?

New Play Control Kid Icarus U would make my day. Really an underexploited game on 3ds. Beef up character models and texture res, make it run 60fps, and the game is done,
Good list except for including New Super Luigi U. If most Nintendo fans didn't care about buying a Wii U for New SMBU, then why are they going to want New Super Luigi U ? Would have been better to have replaced it with a better potential system seller like Mario 3D, Mario Kart or something more mature like Bayonetta 2 (assuming its far along enough in development even if it isnt for release this year). Besides, Nintendo's already given Luigi U enough coverage through the Direct videos, we'll likely see it again during next week's Direct as well.

What? Thats very disappointing. I though they would give us a taste of E3 by letting us play the games they announced at E3 or is on the floor like MK or 3d Mario. I hope thats fake.

Looks more like a list made by an employee- that's the old WW logo.
Probably more of an educated guess than a definitive thing.

Disappointing, but it's the truth.
Don't see any reason why it would be fake. It's only two days away, and the stores obviously have to be briefed beforehand.
If the list had X, Super Smash Bros, Mario U and Half Life 3 on it, then I guess we could be suspicious
it's a disappointing list, but it's realistic.

Disappointing, therefore probably real.
I'll have to go just for the Loot

Yes, only two days.
The list is made by an employee, but that doesn't mean it's fake. They likely have the list of games already and decided to go ahead and make a flyer.

The list is probably real but that ad doesnt look like it
- stores get email through detailing the demo kits and available games. POS arrives tomorrow
- Store employees in one branch use initiative to get customers aware ahead of time.
that's my guess. Used to do it all the time when I ran my store.

I don't think they'll offer retailers Demos of games that we yet have to see just to prevent the leaks.
Yep. Want dat loot.

Right. If two of the demos had been Mario or MK, we could possibly know their names by now.
Nintendo would be CRAZY to not showcase the new Mario Kart and 3D Mario.

This. I know people who are driving hours to get to their nearest store in hope of playing NEW WiiU games (they just want to play MK lol). Nintendo your supposed to place new games to attract people.

"Two of the games in the Best Buy unit are games that have appeared in playable form at previous events like E3, etc. I know this as a fact.
And all 4 games are games we were told were coming. The demo unit focuses on games coming out this year." -Emily Rogers.
Having said that, I think Pikmin and W101 are the ones that fit the two games previously demo'd.

That's it? At least 3 more titles are missing from there.

I doubt best buy will have all demos from the showfloor
Yea that's underwhelming, though I am still excited. I do hope Nintendo really hit it home with the E3. Your post makes me want to quote my brother's gif again, but I won't
Nintendo would be CRAZY to send those demos to a bunch of random Best Buy locations.
Best Buy demos were overblown. Not surprised enough to be disappointed.
I think Nintendo is demoing more than 7 titles this year.
Also, The Windwaker logo looks unchanged. I know this is normal practice but fact is they hid the logo for so long that it must have changed if only a bit.
I'm calling fake until further notice.
No, but if Grezzo is on LttP2 than it's clearly either Tokyo Group 1 or farmed out.

Im just saying, I dont think all of the titles will be at bestbuy. Some titles? Yea, not every single game though.
Why would it be crazy to send those demos?
This is panic mode Nintendo, they need to bring it.

Well those people you know are aware of the console. Nintendo is doing this to attract new people. People that don't really know what the Wii U is aren't going to know that we've seen Pikmin and W101 for a year now. They're showing off niche, soon to be released titles in order to garner more sells for these titles that aren't going to set the charts on fire. 3D Mario and MK are going to do fine no matter what, and they're releasing later in the year.
The only title that doesn't make sense is NSLU. Unless they're trying to make people aware of the eShop, DLC, etc. Which I guess WWHD could be trying to accomplish as well.
Well, that would be exactly what I predicted: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=60490681&postcount=248
Honestly, as someone pointed out to me after, Nintendo have said 3D Mario will be playable at E3. I would hope that this transfers over to Best Buy as well, but maybe not.
They'd be crazy because they'd leak.
I think you're badly overestimating the worth of two demos of games that are, at best, 4-5 months off from releasing. People will know about those games when it's time for them to release.
It's not Retro.
