Nintendo Australia is not satisfied with becoming a household word – even grabbing a cameo on Kath & Kim recently. Now the rockstar gaming consoles are going on tour.
In what I predict will be a rash of broken plasma screens in shopping centres around the country, Nintendo are about to hit the streets.
From the press release;
Australia, Melbourne, 5 September 2007,
People of all ages will have a new opportunity to play Wii™ as Nintendo Australia host a nationwide tour highlighting key, new and future releases.
