Dino Dino Jungle, Pallet Town, and now…Minneapolis?
That’s right! The best of Nintendo is coming soon to a select few U.S. cities this summer, courtesy of the “Play Nintendo Tour,” which will deliver Nintendo activities, photo-ops, games, and more .Â
To celebrate Princess Peach: Showtime!, fans can step on stage at the Sparkle Theater for a photo-op. Demos of Super Mario Bros. Wonder will also delight die-hard and casual gamers alike, or you can race all the highways and byways in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC. Other game demos will include Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Nintendo Switch Sports, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Pikmin 4, Just Dance 2024 and, starting July 18, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition.
Mario isn’t the only one represented, though: Pikachu will make an appearance, and kids can learn about the various Pokémon that can be caught in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Plus Tom Nook and Isabelle from Animal Crossing: New Horizons will make an appearance for an island-themed photo-op.
The tour kicks off June 13 and stops in Houston, Salt Lake City, Miami, and more cities in the U.S. Visit the “Play Nintendo Tour” website to plan your trip to the best gamer destination since Peach Beach.
