Nintendo is going to campaign their home and handheld consoles throughout the UK at a number of family-friendly events this summer.
The Wii U Den tour will run from the end of July through to beginning of September, offering players the chance to experience games already released, such as New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land, as well as upcoming titles releasing later this year.
The Nintendo 3DS Festival of Fun will take place during the same period, showing off games such as Mario Kart 7, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, among others.
Hosting these tours in the UK is a smart decision for Nintendo, whose home console has so far failed to appeal to many consumers. With campaigns like these, we can certainly see that the company is taking steps to market their consoles by showing off some of their exemplary software titles.
The dates and locations of each event are listed below. If you live in the UK, be sure to check them out!
