The news comes after Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said that a number of the firm&amp;#039;s upcoming games will be playable at more than 100 Best Buy stores across the USA and Canada during the week of the E3 gaming expo. The decision to make the games available to the public is part of Nintendo&amp;#039;s bid to establish a new presentation style for E3. The company will not hold a press conference at the annual gaming convention, instead opting to showcase titles to the press on the showroom floor.   During its most recent Direct conference, Nintendo announced a partnership with Sega, giving the company exclusive rights to the next three Sonic the Hedgehog games. As part of the deal, Sonic: Lost Worlds was announced for Wii U and 3DS, while Mario &amp;amp;amp; Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games was confirmed for the Wii U. The company also announced release dates for Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101, as well as plans to release New Super Luigi U at retail.
