Nintendo Switch demo kiosks in the US now feature a demo for Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
As spotted by @Nintendeal, some US stores have received an update to their demo kiosk that adds a playable demo for the upcoming platformer.
The demo is reportedly available at selected Target, Walmart and GameStop stores.
It’s unclear if the demo will later be released on the Nintendo eshop. Retail-exclusive demos for games are rare, but not unheard of.
