Nintendo has posted a formal announcement about their plans, east coast and west, for tomorrow night's and Sunday early morning's Wii launch.

In New York City, Nintendo will hold a midnight launch event at the Times Square Toys "R" Us, with Nintendo President Reggie Fils-Aime selling off the first Wii at 12:01 AM. If you're one of the Nintendo faithful, you'll be treated to "interactive game play while waiting in line" and "live entertainment including acrobats and performances by DJ Ravidrums". The festivities, but certainly not the line, begin at 8 PM.

In the Los Angeles area, the GameStop at Universal CityWalk will see a similar event, but with unspecified Nintendo "guests", an unspecified DJ, and you guessed it, acrobats. Gamers LOVE the acrobats.

I'll be at the LA area event, taking in the madness, hopefully scoring a Wii (but not holding my breath). See you there! Michael McWhertor
