Nintendo Says "Let's Go To The Mall!"
Nintendo has always known who its audience is and where to find them, so with the holiday season approaching, the videogame giant is hitting the malls of America! Starting on November 23, the Nintendo Holiday Mall Experience will travel to 35 shopping malls from coast to coast offering up hands-on demos of their biggest games like Wii Sports Resort, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Fit Plus, and DS titles like Style Savvy, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. They'll also be promoting other Nintendo products like the Wii Shop Channel and the DSi Shop as well as touting the Wii MotionPlus accessory and the extra features of the DSi. The Nintendo Holiday Mall Experience runs from November 23 through December 20, and I've got a whole list of malls after the jump.
UPDATE: Because the press release didn't give dates for each mall appearance, I assumed they hadn't finalized them yet. But I just heard from Nintendo that it is not a moving exhibit, and will in fact be at each one of these malls from November 23 to December 20. Awesome!
