Super Smash Bros. Ultimate arrives on Nintendo Switch this December, but some fans will have a chance to go hands-on with the highly anticipated fighting game before then. Electronics retailer Best Buy will hold several Super Smash Bros. Ultimate demo events around the US during September and October, allowing attendees to try the mascot brawler out ahead of its release.

　　The demo event will come to two different cities every weekend for the next several weeks. The first was hosted at participating Best Buy stores in New York and San Jose this Saturday and Sunday, September 8-9. The event runs from 10 AM to 7 PM local time on Saturday, and 11 AM to 5 PM local time on Sunday.
