Nintendo Gives Fans Chance to Play Top Holiday Games at Penny Arcade Expo

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo is bringing the games that fans want to play to the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), the premier video game event that is open to the public. The show takes place Aug. 26-28 at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center in Seattle, and Nintendo will be at booth No. 462, level 4. Nintendo plans to have games for its Nintendo 3DS™, Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ systems available for people to check out before they launch, including The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword for Wii and Super Mario 3D Land™, Mario Kart™ 7 and Kid Icarus™: Uprising for Nintendo 3DS, in addition to fun events and activities.
In addition to game play on the main show floor, Nintendo invites attendees to visit the Nintendo Gaming Lounge in the North Galleria, which will feature additional games and activities across two different levels. The third floor of the Nintendo Gaming Lounge will be decorated in honor of the upcoming Oct. 24 launch of the Kirby’s Return to Dream Land™ game for Wii (previously known as Kirby Wii) and the Sept. 19 launch of the Kirby™ Mass Attack game for the Nintendo DS family of systems, as well as the Pokédex™ 3D application for Nintendo 3DS. Visitors can inhale Kirby™ pink cotton candy, relax on Kirby beanbag chairs or pick up some fun Kirby items to wear on the show floor while supplies last. The third floor of the Nintendo Gaming Lounge will also feature Pokédex 3D activities such as large Pokémon™ AR markers and daily giveaways including collectible Pokémon AR marker cards while supplies last. The second floor of the Nintendo Gaming Lounge will feature playable versions of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker™ 2 and Fortune Street™. On this floor, players can take fun pictures with friends in a DRAGON QUEST-themed “monster friend mash-up” photo booth and meet with other DRAGON QUEST fans.
Nintendo also plans to host a multiplayer tournament for the unreleased Star Fox 64™ 3D game from 7-10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27, on the second floor of the North Galleria. PAX attendees can sign up for the tournament starting the morning of Friday, Aug. 26, and have a chance to test their skills in aerial battle.

Aww.....only 2 states away?
Well, I'm on the other side of the country... no chance I'll be there.
Seattle...
Why no Philadelphia love?
I won't be here, but I'd really like to give these games a spin. But I guess it's nice to just wait for release and don't spoil some things
Man, why PAX why does Nintendo do this one, but refuse to support Tokyo Game Show
I wish I could go :S
@WaltzElf
NoJ isn't the same as NoA
No Last Specter? I'm surprised. Still, this is a pretty solid lineup for PAX.
@7 NOJ should stop being lazy, then
Whoa whoa whoa WHOA. Pax is in Seattle? Still a 6 hour drive
I won't be there but am pleasantly surprised to see Shinobi and Sonic Generations on that list.
And that Star Fox 64 3D tournament seems like a good idea to further promote the game.
why not Philadelphia or the Philadelphia area because the east coast is the best place to have this type of stuff
No Fire Emblem Heroes of Light and Shadow?
...Well there goes that tiny hope that New Mestery of the Emblem will be relaesed stateside. "Sigh..."
On another note, Pax is in Seattle? I always thought it was in the L.A area.
Go out show show!!
It's funny that between all the Nintendo published games that will be shown at PAX, two of them were Sega games. Hopefully we'll see some Dragon Quest X goodness at TGS later this year.
Too bad Nintendo never does stuff like this in small towns in southwestern Ontario.
its about time there is a nintendo show in Montreal !
its always in usa. usa and usa.
come on, bring it here too !
any word on the grinder being there, I think this would be HVS' last chance to show it off, since they game has a publisher now.
Kirby got his name changed again?
"Kirby’s Return to Dream Land"
If it wasn't always in the US, I'd go, but nothing ever gets done here in the UK.
Ok but nothing mind blowing or unexpected there.
@Waltz: To be fair, Seattle isn't too far from Redmond
@MiracleBlaze There's GAMEfest and Eurogamer Expo next month, both of which will have Nintendo presence — EG has Skyward Sword, MK7, MGS3D, Super Mario 3D Land and more.
I should be the one complaining here. I live in Mississippi and there isn't squat going on for hundreds of miles. The closest events near me were Pokemon events and the Dragon Quest IX events in Memphis, TN. Bleh

Because Seattle is home to Nintendo of America (Redmond is less than 20 minutes away) and Microsoft, 2 major video game console manufacturers. Sounds like a good place to have a video game expo, right in my backyard You guys probably have great Cheesesteak and Rolling Rock conventions though!
Nintendo is going to have Star Fox 64 3D at the Toronto Fan Expo.
Here's the info from Nintendo:
Toronto, flying by Fan Expo this weekend? If so, come visit us there for the chance to be one of the first in Canada to play Star Fox 64 3D! We’ll be at the MTCC Thursday 2 til 9, Friday & Saturday 10 til 8, and Sunday 10 til 6.
I eave in two days, I'm getting there on thrsday and staying till Sunday. I'm definitly going to the Star Fox tournament and I'll try Kid Icarus. I cant wait!!!!!!!
Do they ever do anything in the New York City area? I wanna try the new Mario and Sonic games...
Why does Nintendo always do everything in just one or two states? What about all the other states that don't get any attention at all? Like Florida?
It would be nice is there were a Mario Party 9, but that's nowhere neeear being completed. (sigh).
@TeeJay You're a Floridian too?
What about australia?
Sigh... I won't go at all because I live in Alabama. Alabama never gets to host any famous video game shows like this.
@TeeJay
I agree. Nintendo, give a little attention to the southern states please!
too bad I can't go. Being in the opposite corner of the U.S., it's kinda hard.
@TeeJay @SuperLink
I'm from florida too!
I freakin' love PAX.
PAX East about 40 minute drive from where I live, best weekend of my year.
Haha, at least people remember Florida is a state. I'm from West Virginia. Not only does nothing ever happen here, and not only is it far from literally everything interesting, but most people seem to think it's actually western Virginia.
One of these days I shall go to PAX Prime!
