Nintendo has detailed on an official Wii U Tour 2013 website six iconic locations where Nintendo fans can test drive the Wii U along with several of the currently available games for the platform.  The first location we’ve already heard about, as the tour kicked off on May 26th in Anaheim, California at Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney.  The events are set up as a living room setting with backdrops of some of Nintendo’s most iconic and beloved characters.

Future event locations include:

  • Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, FL – June 5th – June 23rd
  • Navy Pier 600 East Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL – June 28th – July 21st
  • Bloomington, MN – June 28th – July 21st
  • Boston, MA – August 10th – September 2nd
  • Hollywood & Highland Center – August 10th – September 2nd

A few of the venues have yet to be determined, but they have the cities and dates mapped out to coincide to popular vacation destinations throughout the summer months.

Nintendo have also given a list of what can be seen and experienced at these locations:

The events will also let attendees experience the features available on Wii U, to include the eShop, TVii, Wii U Chat, Wii Street U, and more.

Is Nintendo coming to a city near you or a city in your vacation plans? I know I’ll be making a trip to Hollywood to see it for myself.  Let us know in the comments below.

That Disneyland move is one of the best things Nintendo could do. That place is all about families.

The game selection is also pretty good - at least Nintendo didn`t abandon EA! ;)

Good to see that Nintendo's putting these tours in theme parks, rich with young kids and their families. It'll get people aware about the Wii U, and how it's not a Wii add on. I literally cringe when I hear that people think it's a Wii add on.

It wasn`t EA that bashed Nintendo. It was an employee.

 

Who doesn`t want Madden, Fifa, NBA, BF4, etc. on their platforms?

Clearly, Microsoft and sony....

 

Still, Nintendo could press charges, I would imagine...

Possibly Nintendo is just outright fed up with the lack of awareness of the Wii U, and are basically saying "Here! Look at it! It's a whole new ____ing system! It does HD and everything, it's not just a controller!!!"

Makes you wonder weather Nintendo Europe actually does any or work or not or just sit on thier a**es all day, I mean the Nintendo Europe website is still half broken, when you log in alot of the features are still "under construction" like they have been for about 8 months if not more now and the Wii U is selling terrible in the UK, you would think they would do a tour like this over here.

I'm pretty sure the reason they put Need for Speed is because it's a noticeable improvement to other systems.

To be honest, i`m not sure that`s even Nintendo`s intention.
By looking at the line-up you can see they have a pretty broaden line-up. That, to me, was their intention.
