What's on your Christmas wishlist this year? Is it a pony? A new vacuum cleaner? World peace? A Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) Console Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Edition With Nintendo Switch Dock (Special Design)? It's gotta be the last one, right? You're here on Nintendo Life, and the one thing we have in common is that we all want the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) Console Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Edition With Nintendo Switch Dock (Special Design)!
However, if your Winter Wishlists are remarkably un-Nintendo this year, and you live in North America, then you could be in luck. Nintendo representatives will be travelling to 15 malls across the USA to bring Nintendo-flavoured holiday tidings to everyone, and ensuring that the House of Mario makes it under your tree this year. Or else.

Visitors to the Wishlist Wonderland will have the opportunity to play demos of "select Nintendo Switch games", which includes Splatoon 3, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, the new Pokémon Scarlet & Violet games, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Minecraft, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Alongside demos, there will also be an interactive display that lets people learn about games, offers, and giveaways, plus the chance to earn My Nintendo points by checking in.
The aim of these events is to introduce a little more Nintendo into the wishlists of shoppers, presumably instead of all the boring things they thought they wanted.
Do you live near any of these malls? Are you going to visit Nintendo's Christmas-In-November Wonderland? Tell us in the comments.

No Michigan. Sad.
What no Mario Kart?! Great idea though.
Maybe they could do a better discount than they're standard 33% off select titles lol
Did one of these events a few years back and won some pretty nice freebies. (Metal water bottle and Eevee baseball cap, and a lapel pin)
No mention of prizes aside from Platinum Points this time around, though. DC is the closest one to me, and I dont feel like spending 2 hours looking for a parking spot, so I'll pass.
It's always really nice to have a Nintendo promotional event like this, after so long without them. I can't wait to fill my Christmas (or XMAS) list with lots of great new Nintendo productz!

I think the closest one to me, would be Mall of America, but then that would mean entering the US and I rather not.
Nintendo: "What do you wish for little one?"
Kid: "I wish for good online!"
Santa never delivered my real authentic t-rex skull! That aside, I actually just want music and patches this year. I'd still get a kick out of seeing nintendo reps wandering about the mall. All hail the winged Christmas yoshi!
@Desrever how cool
@iLikeUrAttitude lolol
we have a similar event to this one in some mall of the south region of Brazil( Nintendo shopping tour), here in some malls of the state of Sao Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, Nintendistas could play games such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Switch Sports, Mario Strikers Battle League e Kirby Dream Buffet.
Dekudeals > Nintendo's own eShop
I'm Canadian, so 100% no
There's one near me. I may go. I did go to the 2017 Summer of Play event or whatever it was called. I wonder if there'll be any "not for resale' / "demo" carts floating around after these events or if the demo versions of these games will be on Switch demo units themselves.
Bring back Player's Choice titles at permanent 50% discount, you cowards
Even though I live within 30 minutes of one of these malls(I think), I don’t understand the benefit of going. But, if I somehow go to that mall on that day, I will check it out.
@TheBigK
Yeah I can't believe they haven't yet. This is the generation to do it. At least do the titles that have sold over 10 million? That would be, what, 12 titles or so not counting Ring Fit.
@Twilit I feel the exact same way.
I went to the one at Queens Center a few yeas back w/ my kids, I grew up near there, by it seems so crowded now, and parking is horrific, so I think we'll pass this year. If I'm going all the way there may as well go to the NYC store.
I do see why they have it there, it's crazy crowded w/ the mass transit crowd.
@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Ikr? Hopping on W94 to Chicago would probably be Michiganders' best shot.
@MeloMan I live in Muskegon and I'm a minor, getting to Ohio would be a pain that's not worth it. Also, wow, a real perosn from Michigan online. Never seen that before. I've never seen someone form Michigan in forums and stuff.
I would walk in, grab a paper and pen and write “Wind Waker HD”
My WiiU is starting to die and it’s the main thing I play on it!
