Wii U Showcase Tour Announced for UK

Everything is coming up Wii U following the official release announcements just a couple of days ago, today is no different. If you live in the UK and are perhaps a bit on the fence about picking up the new console then good news, it’ll be coming to a town or event near you soon.

Kicking off with Eurogamer Expo in London in just a couple of weeks, the Wii U will be making it’s way to 13 different outings up until 6th January 2013. ZombiU, Nintendo Land and a host of other games will be available for attendees to try out as the tour heads to Manchester, Glasgow and many more. Single player and multiplayer will be available to take part in throughout, along with challenges to compete in where prizes will be up for grabs. The 3DS won’t be forgotten either as upcoming titles for the handheld will also be playable, including the newest Pokémon and Mario games. Still not convinced? Then how about being greeted by the plumber brothers Mario and Luigi?
