Nintendo announces that the nationwide Nintendo Connection Tour is
back for 2011!
Commencing at Westfield Southland in Victoria on the 24th of September
before coming to a shopping centre near you, the Nintendo Connection Tour
will run until the 15th of October, offering Nintendo fans and new players
alike the opportunity to sample some exciting new releases, as well as to
play some family favourites!
There is something for everyone at the Nintendo Connection Tour! For the first time, the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword will be playable on Wii™ as well as exciting new titles on Nintendo 3DS™: Mario Kart™ 7, Super Mario 3D Land™ and Kid Icarus™ Uprising, to name just a few. The activity will all be housed in a set inspired by The Legend of Zelda series, the adventure that has spanned a quarter of a century.
Check out all the games
Don't forget, if you have a Nintendo 3DS, to bring it along to participate in StreetPass™ - a fun function of Nintendo 3DS whereby you can automatically exchange game data between two Nintendo 3DS consoles. Swap Mii™ characters, exchange puzzle pieces, meet other puppies in Nintendogs™ + cats, take part in Super Street Fighter™ IV 3D Edition Figurine Battles and more!
More info on StreetPass
A special competition will also be available at each location, where one winner will receive all games shown on tour that are yet to be released (upon the launch of those games). To be eligible for the competition, and to receive a special Nintendo Connection Tour lanyard, you need to be one of the first 125 people to enter the tour set on each given activity day, so be sure to get there early!
There will be heaps of other giveaways each day and competitions for people of all ages and all skill levels, so don’t miss out!
As an exclusive bonus to visitors to this website, there are 10 rare and highly collectible The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time 3D scrolls to be won at each shopping centre. Entry to the competition for these 'must have' collectors items are exclusive to Nintendo Connection Tour 2011 attendees that receive a secret code from the event and then enter it into the secret section on this website. More details to be revealed soon…
Available on the set will also be the Pokédex 3D application on Nintendo 3DS. Pokédex 3D is available for free on Nintendo 3DS via the Nintendo eShop, allowing players to view Pokémon™ in 3D and even use Pokémon AR (Augmented Reality) Markers to watch them come to life and take photos of them! Pokémon AR Markers will be available at the tour for all to try. Those who bring along their Nintendo 3DS can also take home some special photos - they will need to download the free Pokédex 3D from the Nintendo eShop to participate in this activity.
