Nintendo preps Holiday tour, talks up games of the season

Nintendo is focusing on its release schedule for the remainder of the calendar and has set some dates and locations for its annual gaming tour.

16 malls across the US will play home to Nintendo’s Holiday preview ‘arcade’. The popup event makes the rounds every December, and this one will be no exception as the company will have games for both the Wii U and 3DS on hand for you to play and view while you take a little break from Holiday shopping.

Games you can try out for the 3DS include:

  • YO-KAI WATCH
  • The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
  • Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon
  • Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
  • Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash
  • Super Smash Bros. for 3DS
  • Mario Kart 7

And for the Wii U:

  • Super Mario Maker
  • Splatoon
  • Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
  • Yoshi’s Woolly World
  • Skylanders SuperChargers
  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

In addition to all of the above, you can also see plenty of Amiibo at the kiosks, pick up some freebie giveaways, get coupons for cash off of Nintendo products at Toys R Us stores, and even nab a Nintendo Holiday Gift Guide for yourself – all while supplies last of course. You can also find Nintendo gurus on hand, who’ll be more than willing to make some holiday recommendations for gifts this Season.
