What would be the point in developing a new demo?
Good point, but i still think that updating the demos with more characters would allow the fans to have a better experience playing as their favorite characters before launch. Also, it can't be that hard to make a couple of new demos with more characters.

Looks like the USA always gets a demo play because the game releases on Ocober 3, Japan doesn't have much promotion but they are the first to get the game, glad I live in Asia so I can get the game too.

Aw, man... I'll be out of town when it comes to Irvine. :/

Any idea how late it goes? I'll be back home 9/1, maybe I can catch the tail end of it...

I wish they would have more Wii U demos. I got to play the 3DS version quite a bit at the Best Buy demo, but the Wii U line was so long. None of these are by me anyway, so whatever. I'm happy for the people who do get to play it though.

I'm baffled as to why Nintendo only allows people of notoriety to try their game but not the wide masses. Why haven't they considered releasing a demo to the public at all?
One reason given is that the demo could potentially brick the user's system. Whether it's true or is an issue they can take precautions against, another big reason is so data miners can't leak the roster. As far as non-Americans wanting demos, I guess there was Gamescom, not that it'll make the people who couldn't make that feel any better.

No Yoshi, Luigi, Tink or Greyninja but Diddy, Lucario, Peach and D3 as replacements?

This completely. I had a location pretty close to where I live already (I'm British) and all of the games on show had already been out for, in some cases, years (e.g MK8)
wow. it just doesn't make sense. they want to promote these newer games but want so few people to even try it. i went to an event last year but it was just games i had like nslu and pikmin 3. Zelda windwaker wasn't even playable

Probably the same reason they avoid the biggest cities for even things like the Best Buy demo, cities such as Chicago, Miami, and New York City.
