–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nintendo:

WHAT:			Nintendo’s classic characters and games are coming to life as part of the one-of-a-kind Play Nintendo Tour. You’re invited to be a part of the tour when it visits the Bite of Seattle at the Seattle Center Armory from July 15 to July 17. Enjoy a unique experience bursting with color and imagination that offers parents and their kids the chance to play some of Nintendo’s best games on New Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 2DS systems, participate in exciting contests, win awesome prizes and snap memorable photos.

			Inspired by Play Nintendo, Nintendo’s site for kids and families, the tour invites visitors to hop into a Yoshi egg to play Yoshi’s New Island, recline on a giant banana while checking out Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and relax in pink beanbag chairs to play one of Nintendo’s newest games, Kirby: Planet Robobot. People who are into cool family photos or amazing selfies can take some pictures next to a huge Kirby figure, beside an oversized Yoshi egg, inside a barrel flanked by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, under a devastating blue Spiny Shell in the Mario Kart 7 area or next to a giant Pokéball in the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire region. The New Super Mario Bros. 2 section even features a photogenic flagpole, stacks of coins and a warp pipe, while the YO-KAI WATCH area makes people look like they have stepped into the town in the game, complete with mischievous Yo-kai lurking about.

			There’s a surprise around every corner, so you really don’t want to miss it.
