Nintendo announced this morning that they will be holding a special Summer Of Play Tour, as they revealed dates and locations across the United States. This all-ages event will be running from From June 15th until August 28th, as the company will set up what is essentially its own mini-convention setting, as we would normally see at events like Comic-Con or PAX. They will have multiple titles on hand for you to play, some of them brand new or on the way, while others are favorites that you might enjoy playing with total strangers. While the event sounds awesome, the downside is that it's only eight dates long in select cities. So, for example, if you happen to live in Wyoming, the closest one to you will be in Colorado. We have the full rundown from Nintendo below, along with the dates and locations of each stop.
