luminaries like Mario, Donkey Kong and Pokémon, the three-month
Play Nintendo Tour 2014 will showcase Nintendo’s latest

Nintendo 2DS and the Play Nintendo Tour 2014 make a perfect pair

adult. Nintendo 2DS offers kids and anyone new to gaming a great
first-time system, and the tour events offer everyone an
exciting opportunity to play together.
Guests will enjoy whimsical-themed gaming zones filled with
iconic items like banana-shaped seats in the Donkey Kong area, a
giant Poké Ball in the Pokémon section and Yoshi egg chairs in
Yoshi’s island. Attendees will also have the chance to meet
costumed characters Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Kirby. Radio
Disney will also be at the events, featuring the Radio Disney
Road Crew and prize giveaways (while supplies last).
Racers can satisfy their need for speed in the Mario Kart racing
area, where their skills will be put to the test on Mario Kart 7
in qualifying rounds. Winning drivers advance and will be
