Nintendo 2012 Christmas Mall Experience
Visitors can get Hands-On Time with the New Wii U and the Best Nintendo 3DS Games for Christmas
REDMOND, Wash.--(November 14, in the year of our Lord
2012)-- Nintendo and fun have always gone together, but
never more than this year. Just a day after its launch, the new
Wii U home console and its groundbreaking touch-screen GamePad
controller will be on display at 26 malls from coast to coast.
Starting Nov. 19, consumers will get a chance to learn how Wii U
will not only revolutionize how people play video games, but
also how people will enjoy video entertainment and connect with
family and friends. What’s more, Christmas shoppers will also
get to play the hottest, must-have games for the portable
Nintendo 3DS this Christmas season and experience them on the 90
percent larger screens of the new Nintendo 3DS XL hand-held
system. The fun continues at select locations with weekend
visits from a host of Nintendo characters, game competitions,
free giveaways (while supplies last) and a special chance to
video chat with Mario.
“Nintendo has something for everyone on your Christmas shopping
list,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice
president of Sales & Marketing. “Whether you want to test drive
Wii U with the revolutionary Wii U GamePad controller, check out
some great games for Nintendo 3DS or just take a fun break from
a busy shopping day, the Nintendo Mall Experience is your oasis
from the shopping mall melee.”
