I went to the one in Winnipeg yesterday.... The games all looked great!! My roomate played Donkey Kong because everyone else was playing Mario and Zelda. By the time it was our turn in line we had seen so much of those demos. Mario looks like a lot of fun and Zelda is just visually stunning. I played Mario Kart which could go down as the best Mario Kart game since the snes original. It's kinda like Mario Kart meets F-Zero! Unfortunately for the demo they only allowed for motion controls. Using the gamepad as a wheel works well but I'm too old for that shiss.. The rep assured me that the game can be played without motion but for the demo they wanted it to be experienced like this.


The rep at the store I went to showed us how before the race starts on the gamepad screen there is an option to choose either motion steering or using the analog stick

The rep I was dealing was pretty clueless.  She offered people "DS's" to play but they were actually "3ds's".  Pretty brutal..  I felt like trying to get her job and replace her.
