Just as they did in 2006 with the Wii, Nintendo has announced plans to demo the 3DS at more than 40 locations nationwide in advance of its release on March 27. These ‘demo pods’ will give people access to play around with the 3DS’ built-in applications and 7 of the expected launch titles around the clock for the rest of the month. A list of the games playable and a partial list of locations and hours is posted after the break.
