Nintendo taking Wii U on post-Eurogamer Expo UK tour

Nintendo has announced a post-Eurogamer Expo tour for its shiny new Wii U console.

As we announced earlier today, you'll be able to try the Wii U for the first time in the UK at Eurogamer Expo 2012.

After that, Nintendo will take the Wii U to other, more exotic places in the UK - including the north.

You'll be able to sample launch title New Super Mario Bros. U, mini-game compilation Nintendo Land and survival horror ZombiU.

Mario and Luigi will also be in attendance, should you want a picture.
