Wii Sports Resort Island Coming to a Town Centre Near You

If you live in London, Leeds, Dublin or Birmingham, Nintendo has plans for this Friday to either a) make getting to your preferred sandwich shop more difficult or b) (if the weather's bad) point and laugh at a bunch of promotions girls in grass skirts getting soggy. The publisher intends to 'recreate a tropical party' at select locations to promote Wii Sports Resort.

According to the announcement - "Everyone will be treated to a ‘Wii Sports Resort Beach Party’, complete with fantastic giveaways, beach party tunes plus the opportunity to play the best game to hit our shores - Wii Sports Resort!

"Party goers will not only get an exclusive hands on play of the game but will also be in with the chance to win an amazing luxury water sports and beach holiday in Halkidiki, Greece."

Arguably, the hands-on isn't that exclusive, given that the game will be out on the same day...

The locations Nintendo has lined up are:

Game, 100 Oxford Street, London, W1D 1LL (9am to 9pm)

Argos, Unit 2, The Gantry, 22-26 The Headrow, Leeds, LS1 8EQ (8am to 8pm)

Smyths, Unit 424, Blanchardstown Centre, Dublin 15 (9am to 9pm)

GameStation, 138 Birmingham New Street, Birmingham, B2 4NS (9am to 7pm)

HMV Glasgow, 235 Buchanan St, Glasgow, G1 2NG (times to be confirmed, but we'd figures from 9am!)
