“Dancing with the Stars” winner, Derek Hough, visited the Nintendo booth at E3 to check out the newest offerings on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Just one of the many celebs that enjoyed everything Nintendo had to offer during this year’s E3!

After a whirlwind trip to London and just a day before a much-needed vacation to Cabo, Derek chose to spend his few hours of downtime at home to attend Nintendo’s E3 booth.

Derek’s first time ever attending E3 was a complete success, while he was there, he went straight to Mario Kart 8 area to check out the Wii U Gamepad and even got inside a life-size Mario Kart to have some fun! Mario Kart was his favorite Nintendo franchise growing up and he couldn’t wait to see what Nintendo had come up with next.

As a lifelong fan of Nintendo, he was stoked to see Super Mario 3D World and of course the newest Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD.

Where do all the celebs go when you are at the Sundance Film Festival? The answer is easy, anywhere Mario is hanging out! The Nintendo Lounge was the place to be this weekend during the Sundance Film Festival.

Grammy winner Alicia Keys looked flawless as she ended her long day of press during the Sundance Film Festival at the Nintendo Lounge. She took time out of her busy schedule to check out the new Wii U before wrapping up her day. On her way out, Alicia mentioned she was eager to get home to her son, Egypt, who had been out on the slopes all day for his first ski lesson. Check out what else happened during the fun event!

Newlyweds, Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza-Lopez also popped by the Nintendo Lounge to play – what else – New Super Mario Bros. U! Mario clearly had fun controlling the game through the GamePad and they even enjoyed some light-hearted competition.

Adrian Grenier stopped by the Nintendo Lounge with a tall leggy blonde and posse in tow. Adrian decided to test his skills on Wii Fit U and show off his strength during the rowing challenge in front of his mystery blonde friend. Right before Adrian arrived, Lil Jon and his bodyguards came by our lounge for the third year in a row to check out Wii U. The noticeably calmer rapper made mention of a lifestyle change and passed on having any drinks at the lounge. And yes, that includes shots.

So HollywoodLifers, Do you have the Wii U? Its a great system! You must get it if you don’t have it already!
