Nintendo is encouraging any and all fans to celebrate the launch of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and it's shaping up to be one helluva neat shindig.
On November 14, from 3:00 - 7:00 PM, you'll have the chance to see a real-life Mushroom Kingdom at the Nintendo World store, which is located in New York at the Rockefeller Plaza in case you forgot.
Game stations, people dressed up as characters, trivia challenges, prize giveaways, a New SMB Wii tournament ... yep, this sounds like a game launch all right. Best of all, there's going to be some sort of Super Mario Bros. museum with "memorabilia pulled from Nintendo's archives." Now I'm intrigued.
The game of course hits store shelves the next day. Anyone else planning on getting this game for the whole family, and not just yourself?

I'll still play them, but they're more of a 15-20 minute diversion now than anything.
This isn't a downloadable title, unless you're planning to pirate it, in which case, please ignore my comment.
I can't wait to get this game.
While I'll definitely play with family when they're over, this is definitely a me game. I've been itching to play it for a while.
As for the Nintendo World store, I was actually disappointed by it when I was in New York this past summer. They did sell cheap hats that actually fit my giant head, so that was cool, but I built it up to be this great thing in my mind, and it wasn't.
That sucks for you. I've been gaming since before there were any 2d side scrollers, and I still love em' to this day. Mario in particular has always been top notch. I guess it's just not l33t enough for some people.
I will be playing this from start to finish and will search out every coin, secret and super skill time and time again! Just like every side scrolling Mario title before it! The replay value will be nothing short of amazing.
