Nintendo Mall Program Puts Some Zip in Family Shopping Trips.

China Weekly News November 15, 2011 Whether your feet are aching from a long day of shopping or you just need some advice about what to buy that video gamer on your holiday list, Nintendo has you covered. Nintendo is visiting malls nationwide to give families hands-on time with great Nintendo games during the busy holiday shopping season, plus a chance to meet some of Nintendo’s favorite characters. Like cookies, presents and visits with relatives, the Nintendo mall program has become something of an annual tradition since 2006. Nintendo estimates that last year more than 850,000 people got some hands-on time with Nintendo games.

Nintendo will be at two dozen malls from Nov. 21 to Dec. 18, prime time for holiday video game sampling. Shoppers will be able to spend time checking out all the coolest games for the Nintendo 3DS™, Wii™ and the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. In advance of the mall program, 10 select malls will also get a special preview of the upcoming epic game for the Wii console, The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword, which will make a 10-day appearance from Nov. 11 to Nov. 20. this web site best nintendo ds games

“Nintendo has something for everyone on your holiday gift list,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Shoppers can stop by to test-drive games, meet Nintendo characters or just to take a break from their gift hunting and have some fun.” On weekends visitors also may have a chance to interact with various Nintendo characters like Mario™, Luigi™, Donkey Kong™, Kirby™ and Pikachu™. bestnintendodsgamesnow.com best nintendo ds games
