I'm sure they won't have Smash Bros playable at these demo stations, but I would've still voted for Super Mario Universe regardless. It took all I had not to vote for W101 or Wind Waker, though, as I'm ecstatic for them as well.

And I agree with those who say this Best Buy partnership is a very good idea and that they should make the demos available for WiiU owners.

Hasn't SSB4 been in development for over a year now? Plus they have Namco Bandai helping them out which may have sped things a long. I'm sure a smallish demo (4-8 characters, 1-3 stages) could be put together.

During the last WiiU-focused Nintendo Direct they made a point of saying that 3D Mario and Mario Kart would have playable demos at E3 while Smash Bros would only be shown, implying a teaser trailer or at the very least screenshots.

Since this also implies that Mario Kart could very well launch this holiday, I have little doubt that they won't release MK and Smash during the same holiday.

Maybe they'll surprise us and reveal that Smash is indeed further along than they've let on, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
