The 3DS will also be playable at the Winter World Hobby Fair. It will tour the country, starting in Osaka on January 16th, then moving to Tokyo, Nagoya and Fukuoka in subsequent weeks thereafter. Titles on offer include Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Kid Icarus, Nintendogs + Cats, AR Games and the Nintendo 3DS Camera.
