'''''Nintendo Land''''' is a launch title for the [[Wii U]]. The game is set in a fictional amusement park based on Nintendo, with gameplay consisting of various minigames, described as "attractions". The attractions are each based on a Nintendo franchise, for example, ''[[mario:Mario Chase|Mario Chase]]'' is based on ''[[mario:Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'', and '''''[[Pikmin Adventure]]''''' is based on ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]''.


'''''Nintendo Land''''' is one of the [[Wii U]]'s launch titles. The game is set in a amusement park of sorts with a general Nintendo franchise theme. The main point of the game is to chose one of the several attractions available in the park, all based on a specific franchise, like ''[[mario:Mario (series)|Mario]]'' or ''[[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin]]'', with the latter's game being called '''''[[Pikmin Adventure]]'''''.
==Gameplay==
The player controls a [[Mii]] who acts as a visitor on the park. From the plaza, they can enter any attraction to play the unique minigame inside. Once inside an attraction, they are directed to choose each player's Mii, their roles, and/or the levels they will be playing. Each attraction has a unique goal, genre, and control scheme demonstrating the possibilities of the Wii U.


==Concept==
Each attraction may award coins, both by completing them and collecting coins that appear within the attraction. The coin count is shared through the entire park, and they can be used on a {{w|Pachinko}}-like minigame in the plaza. Every level of the minigame that is completed awards the player with one new prize, which takes the form of a question-mark block in the plaza. The player can then tap the block to reveal a statue of an object in a random attraction. The minigame can also unlock songs for a jukebox, or even alternate gameplay features.
The player serves as a visitor on the park. From the plaza, they can enter any attraction, although some of them require more than one player to play. Once inside an attraction, it is possible to choose the players, their roles, and/or the levels. Each attraction has a specific goal, and even genre, including shooters, real-time action-strategy, and beat-em-ups.


Inside the games, one can gather coins. The coin count is shared through the entire park, and the coins are used on a [[wikipedia:Pachinko|Pachinko]]-like game, in which the goal is, for each level, to get at least one ball to touch every hole. Every level that is completed awards the player with one new prize, which takes the form of a question-mark block on the plaza. The player can then tap the block to reveal a statue of an object in a random attraction. Similarly, the player can unlock songs for a jukebox, or even alternate gameplay features.
The park is guided by a floating monitor with one arm named Monita. She guides the player through tutorials in all attractions, and in some of them, interacts as part of the main experience. She is also provides notes about the statues on the plaza.
