The Play Nintendo Tour is returning once again this year. Between June 17 and September 5, Nintendo will host a 12-city tour at malls and other locations in the United States. Fans will be able to play various 3DS games, participate in contests, nab prizes, and partake in photo opportunities.

Here’s what Nintendo has planned in terms of activities:

Visitors can 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 the newest games, Kirby: Planet Robobot, which launches on June 10. People who are into cool family photos or amazing selfies can take some snaps 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 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 Springdale, the town in the game, complete with mischievous Yo-kai lurking about.

And list of locations:

June 17-19: Westfield Culver City – Los Angeles
June 24-26: Arrowhead Towne Center – Glendale, Arizona
July 1-3: FlatIron Crossing – Broomfield, Colorado
July 8-10: Mall of America – Bloomington, Minnesota
July 15-17: Bite of Seattle – Seattle
July 21-24: Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina – San Diego
July 29-31: Memorial City Mall – Houston
Aug. 5-7: Woodfield Mall – Schaumburg, Illinois

This week’s issue of Famitsu contains a four-page article on Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages. Much of the information was previously-known, but there are a few new details.

The big thing we see in the coverage is that the player’s actual family is shown. You have a dad named Darius, a mom named Marina, and your younger sister Lynne. Initially, your father was against you being a farmer while your mother was supportive of the move. Lynne on the other hand said she would miss you.
