<p>Similarly to the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo are hoping that as soon as people try the Wii U they will &#8220;get it&#8221; and instantly buy one. We&#8217;re literally talking about repeating that lightning in a bottle effect where you try it once, get it and immediately buy it the day after (depending on stock supplies!).</p>
<p>Nintendo announced that in an attempt to do this, they will be distributing &#8220;interactive Wii U kiosks&#8221; in more than 5,000 retailers across the United States with big names such as Target, Best Buy, GameStop and Walmart offering you the chance to have a hands-on session before probably forcing so many marketing leaflets onto your person that you have no choice but to pre-order or spend the rest of your life as a human paper weight.</p>
<p>By the power of the internet, clicking <a href="http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/events">here</a> will take you to Nintendo&#8217;s Wii U site where you can type in your ZIP code and be informed where you&#8217;re nearest Wii U can be found! Let&#8217;s us know what you all think!</p>
