It’s a great year to be a gamer - Nintendo has been hyping up their upcoming Wii U console like crazy, and last night in LA, the celebs came out to give the system a try!

So who showed up for this highly exclusive event?  ‘Modern Family’ stars lit up the occasion as Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, and Rico Rodriguez gave Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U a try.  Keegan Allen was also there to rep ‘Pretty Little Liars,’ and it was a blast from the past as former Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter showed up to show what he has to bring to the table in the world of gaming.  Also in attendance was Shenae Grimes (90210), Chord Overstreet (Glee), Mae Whitman (Perks of Being a Wallflower), Mason Cook (Spy Kids 4), and Zelda Williams (Checked Out).
