Nintendo isn’t known as fun for all ages for no reason.  To help share the nostalgia we felt playing a Nintendo game while growing up with the next generation, Nintendo is touring to 12 different cities creating a small Nintendo world in shopping malls across the country and inviting families to participate in the fun.

Play Yoshi’s New Island in a giant Yoshi egg, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on a banana bean bag, Kirby: Planet Robobot on comfy pink beanbags; you can also take a selfie driving a Mario Kart after playing Mario Kart 7 beneath a Spiny Shell, or next to a giant Pokeball after rekindling your memories of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Saphire.  And don’t forget to jump into the world of Yo-Kai Watch.

Children have a chance to explore each of the seven games, answer quiz question for each “world”, and have a chance to win a special Nintendo plush from the Nintendo Klaw Machine at the end of their journey.  Lucky participants can also have a chance to face off and compete for a grand prize. And everyone wins!
