Visitors to this year’s SXSW Gaming Expo will be able to go
behind the scenes to experience an exciting lineup of unreleased

players interact with one another in fresh and exciting ways.
The three-day event will feature the public debut for several
Nintendo 3DS games in North America, including a guided demo
opportunity with Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as well as playable

the proof is always in the playing,” said Scott Moffitt,
