Want to try out the latest Nintendo games in true holiday fashion? You’re in luck, since Nintendo is hosting a travelling pop-up holiday display at shopping malls across the U.S. this season from November 11 through December 17. Coined as the Nintendo Holiday Experience, the events will feature demo units for both Switch and 3DS, including demos of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, FIFA 18, Pokkén Tournament DX, Metroid: Samus Returns, and Mario Party: The Top 100.

Here’s what Nintendo of America Senior VP of Sales and Marketing, Doug Bowser, had to say on the event:

“We want to bring smiles to people’s faces this holiday with experiences the whole family can enjoy. The Nintendo Holiday Experience is a great opportunity for people to try Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS, this season’s must-have holiday items.”

The Nintendo Holiday Experience will be at the following locations:

  • Perimeter Mall in Atlanta
  • Natick Mall in Natick, Massachusetts
  • Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, Illinois
  • The Parks Mall at Arlington in Arlington, Texas
  • FlatIron Crossing in Broomfield, Colorado
  • Memorial City Mall in Houston
  • Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, California
  • Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California
  • Aventura Mall in Aventura, Florida
  • Mall of America® in Bloomington, Minnesota
  • Queens Center in Elmhurst, New York
  • King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania
  • Arrowhead Towne Center in Glendale, Arizona
  • Washington Square in Portland, Oregon
  • Westfield Valley Fair in Santa Clara, California
  • Westfield Southcenter in Seattle
  • Tysons Corner Center in Tysons Corner, Virginia

With Switch already a global success, I’m sure it’ll be a sure-fire item this holiday season, and getting the word out in shopping malls during the holidays is a great way to get the word out.
