The annual South by Southwest festival is descending on Austin soon, and Nintendo will be hauling several titles to the event. Some will be playable for the first time in North America, such as the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Leaf for 3DS.

In addition to New Leaf, SXSW visitors will also have access to kiosks featuring Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, LEGO City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and more.

If you're in Austin between March 8-10 for the festival, you can check Nintendo out at booth 500.

This is a very smart marketing move. Sony, you listening? Vita could use something like this.

Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online.(Click Home information)

I would love to play the new Animal Crossing but I don't think I'll drive a few hours to get my hands on it.

SXSW Is such a PAIN! Yes, I live in Austin, it's great revenue, but all those "hipsters" & "Yuppies" crowd the streets making it nearly impossible to get home.

Too bad, I have to work. The only thing I can make time for is to see Crashdiet, Crucified Barbara,
D-A-D, Hell's Belles and more on the 13th.
Finally the Barbs are coming to the States. Woot!

Atta boy, Nintendo! Get the word out on those games. You're gonna need all the good press you can get this year.
