The booth will be the perfect place to enjoy all the StreetPass functionality of Nintendo 3DS, and charging stations will be available so players can keep charged throughout the day.
There will also be an array of exciting up-coming titles on the booth, with Australian fans able to get their hands on 3DS titles for the very first time such as The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Sonic Lost World. Playable on Wii U will be a variety of anticipated software including Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD and Super Mario 3D World.
