Is this true?

Ive tried finding this on Best buys official site but cant find anything?

I'm not sure. I remember reading it for myself, so they definitely removed the page. Maybe they deleted it so that they don't have miles of people lining up in advance to play Smash Ultimate?

Yes it is true but it's only in like 10 or 12 major cities and only in the U.S.

Hopefully not a repost, but I haven't seen any mention here. Hope you're in one of the lucky 10 locations! (Also mention of some ambiguous prize. Maybe a pin/button/poster?)

Edit: Whoops, I guess my post got moved/merged.

The Torrance location isn't too far away from me. Even though I played 12 matches of Ultimate at E3, I may double dip anyway. No such thing as too much Smash, plus December can not come here any sooner!

I'll wait until Nintendo teams up with the Nintendo e-shop for the Smash Demo.

Me and my brother plan to go to one not too far away. Should be a fun outing.

I wouldn't doubt it. They did the same thing for the Sm4sh event, but I'd recommend getting there early so that you don't have to wait in line for four hours (like I did). Good news is I got some exclusive Mario Kart swag as a thank you from Best Buy/Nintendo, though!

EDIT: Also, it looks like there are less stores doing it this time. I used the one in Durham, NC last time, but it looks I'd have to drive down to Atlanta if I wanted to do it from my house this year... Expect even longer lines.

I wonder if I'll be able to recreate my first unintentional experience with ssb, where I spammed Ivysaur's jab at an Ike CPU for about half a minute or less on what looked like a custom stage with Bridge of Eldin's skybox...
