Nintendo’s playable PAX Aus lineup features upcoming Wii U and 3DS titles

Vooks are reporting Nintendo Australia’s lineup of playable games at PAX Aus this weekend. At the Melbourne Showgrounds Nintendo will let Aussie fans go hands on with upcoming 3DS and Wii U titles including;

• Pikmin 3;
  
• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD;
• Super Mario 3D World;
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds; and
• Sonic: Lost World (3DS).

PAX Aus will be the first time any of these games have been playable in Australia. Playable games aren’t the only reason to visit Nintendo’s booth at PAX though. The Pokémon National Championships will be held on the Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday 20th July
Masters Division: Born in 1997 or earlier
Registration 10am – 12pm
Competition 12pm – 6pm

Sunday 21st July
Junior Division: Born in 2002 or later
Registration 10am – 11am
Competition 11am – 2pm

Senior Division: Born in 1998, 1999, 2000, or 2001
Registration 2pm – 3pm
Competition 3pm – 6pm

Be sure to remember your 3DS too as PAX Aus will be ripe with StreetPass and impromptu multiplayer games. Nintendo have even been kind enough to provide charging stations for your 3DS if the battery is running low.

On Saturday at 4:30pm in the Dropbear Theatre, Nintendo will be hosting a special Animal Crossing: New Leaf event. Fans will be able to hear from the developers of the game who’ll be answering questions from the Australian community.

Make sure you head over to the Nintendo booth at some point during the weekend. If you see Shane battling it out on Saturday make sure you cheer him on.
