Interactive Nintendo 3DS Demo Pods and mobile Nintendo 3DS Demo Squads will be in select U.S. cities starting March 11, offering sampling opportunities to try the 3DS at more than 40 locations in cities nationwide. Visitors are invited to explore the system's built-in software and play upcoming games, all in advance of the March 27 launch date.
More than 200 million Mii characters have been created worldwide since the 2006 launch of the Wii system, and that number is sure to grow as players discover the portable fun of Mii Maker on Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo 3DS Demo Pod visitors who create a Mii character can commemorate the experience by uploading their Mii character to their Facebook pages and sharing their creations with friends and family via e-mail from an on-site computer.
