I work at Gamestop, and whenever our store's Nintendo rep comes by (not too often), I try and mention Brawl demos and tourneys to her. The Gamestop "tourney" rumor about going to regionals, fighting at a main Gamestop in Texas, etc is merely a rumor; rather, my manager knows nothing of it, neither does my district manager. Your local Gamestop may hold a Brawl tournament/midnight launch, but it depends all on how many people reserved the game. Too little reserves, no midnight launch.
However, some good news. My manager spoke with the Nintendo rep, and his quote exactly:
"She told me she was getting some packages in, and that it couldn't be anything else than a Brawl demo. If that's the case, we'll have one in the store possibly next week!"
Next week, he said. NEXT WEEK. I was dumbfounded, and I doubt it, but my manager wouldn't just lie to me.
So, there is a good chance we will see American Brawl demos sooner than we think.
