Wii U demos at E3 unlikely to hit eShop

Saddened to see that there isn't going to be a Best Buy location near you participating in Nintendo's E3 Wii U demo sessions? I have a bit more bad news. While there's no official word on these demos hitting/not hitting the Wii U eShop at some point, it seems unlikely. Here's what Renegade Kid's Jools Watsham had to say about eShop demos.

“(Demos) are held to the same testing and standards as final games - so it can result in some fails before a demo is ready for the eShop.”

In other words, demos on the E3 show floor don't have to go through the same testing before they are played. Seems like it's going to be a Best Buy or nothing situation.
