Nintendo's monster UK tour kicks off this month. Head inside for the first dates...

The Nintendo Unleashed tour will be making a return for 2012 and 2013, with the publisher announcing the first details of what to expect when it kicks off this month.

Unleashed starts on April 13th at Kitacon in Birmingham. The first three venues have been confirmed as follows:

13th-15th April - Kitacon, Birmingham
12th-13th May - Bristol Comic Expo
25th-27th May - London Comic Con, MCM Expo

Nintendo Unleashed is an open invite event, so all you need to do to get in on the gaming action is turn up. To be expected from the first event in Birmingham is playable demos of Kid Icarus Uprising and the first playable UK appearance of Mario Tennis Open for 3DS. There will also be a celebration of the release of Pandora's Tower on Wii. The first three people to turn up will win copies of the game, while special posters will be given away to all attendees.

You'll be able to keep up with all the new Nintendo Unleashed dates as Nintendo's official site gets updated.
