It’s possibly one of the worst kept secrets in a long time but Nintendo Australia has finally announced that the Wii U will be playable at the EB Games Expo.
The expo kicks off on October 5th and ends October 7th, yes that’s right next week you could be playing the Wii U!
“We are incredibly excited to be able to showcase Nintendo’s innovative new Wii U game console to Australian consumers at this year’s EB Games Expo,” said Steve Wilson, Managing Director of EB Games Australia and New Zealand. “EB Games Expo will be the first time gamers in Australia get to go hands on with Wii U.”
There will be 12 playable titles at the show including titles not only from Nintendo but third parties as well. These include;
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- Nintendo Land
- SiNG Party
- ZombiU
- RAYMAN LEGENDS
- Darksiders II
- Batman: Arkham City Armoured Edition
- Assassin’s Creed III
- Scribblenauts Unlimited
- Just Dance 4
- Game Party Champions
- Sonic & All Star Racing Transformed
Voice of Mario himself Charles Martinet will also be attending the expo. So you’ll not only play Mario, but also meet the voice of him too.
The Vooks team will be at the expo to bring you hands on impressions of all the titles. Make sure if you see Billy or Hope there you say hi!
Oh and if you’re bummed about not being and Sydney and not being able to play, it could be worse. You could live in Perth and then be in Melbourne that weekend for work and still not be able to go.
And you run Austrlaia’s #1 Nintendo site.
Yeah that just happened.
There’s Game Masters at ACMI (Federation Square) you can go to. I am this weekend.
I’m in the same boat – it’s hard running Australia’s #2 Nintendo Site! 😛
Is that on Next weekend?
It’s been on since June and goes until the end of October I think.
So yes, it is 🙂
I want to go so bad but I also don’t want spoilers! I want the delight of playing it for the first time when I get my Wii U and play it in my lounge room
