Nintendo's Father's Day Smash Bros. Tournament

Sunday June 15th is Father's Day, and what better way to celebrate than playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl all day long? Alright, so some of you were planning on doing that anyway, but if you're in the New York City area that weekend you can get your father involved for a chance at fabulous prizes!

Nintendo is hosting a Super Smash Bros. Brawl Wii Father's Day Tournament at the Nintendo World store in Rockefeller Plaza on the 15th from 1 to 4 PM, with the winners of the bracket-style playoff walking away with two Wii, two copies of the game, and a trophy commemorating the event. Photographers will be on hand throughout the event to offer framed father and son pictures so at least you come away with something if the tourney only drives home the fact that you and your father have absolutely nothing in common.

Mario Kart Wii Launch Starring Jason Priestley

Jason Priestley, who Nintendo was kind enough to remind us is an actor, hit up this weekend's launch of Mario Kart Wii at the Nintendo World store in New York. While there he took on fellow actor Chace Crawford of Gossip Girl fame in a bit of Mario Karting. If that fat cat smile and double chin is any measure it looks like Priestley totally schooled the kid. With a wheel too!

Nintendo's Official Mario Kart Launch Event

Oh yeah, there's another game launching at the end of this month! Sure, GTA IV overwhelming, but we're just as excited for the imminent release of Mario Kart Wii the Sunday after next, and so is Nintendo. They're getting ready to party on the afternoon of the 26th at the Nintendo World store in Rockefeller Plaza. Fans will be able to get their hands on the game early, compete in competitions for fabulous prizes, and participate in giveaways and premiums, such as personalized Mario Kart driver's licenses. I want one! Unfortunately I will be fast asleep in Atlanta when all of this is going on, but I'm not above paying off someone who looks exactly like me to stand in line. Festivities run from 2PM to 6PM, with the game going on sale the following day. No midnight release? Teases. Still, you'll have plenty of time to make it to somewhere that is once the event ends. Happy Karting!

This Saturday, make that tomorrow, the Nintendo World Store will be hosting the launch event for the Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys event.

Stop by the store between noon and 4 p.m. EST and you can get a chance to check out a demo of the game. They will also have the three lead zombies—Finnigan "Fins" Magee, Lori "Lefty" Lopez and Zach "Halfpipe" Boyd—on hand to take pictures and such. Attendees will each be given a limited edition Teenage Zombies t-shirt and some other goodies, while supplies last.

launch party

Launch Parties From Coast to Coast

Tomorrow (Wed.) will see the Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword launch party at the Nintendo World Store in New York City from 2pm - 6pm. The game's producer and director Yosuke Hayashi will be on hand to sign autographs and met and greet the crowd. If you purchase the game there you will be granted one of those nifty Dragon Sword Ninja styli. There will also be demo stations set up around the store so you can try before you buy.

Also, as I reported last week, tonight is the launch party for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII at the Sony Metreon Center in San Francisco. The event goes from 6pm - 9pm and space is limited to 200 people.

And if that's not enough for you, our own Crecente will be attending and telling you all about his adventures at the Tecmo event in New York. Launch events, ho!

NYC Nintendo World Store Is Still Line Central

Look at all these sad, faithful who think that Christmas still isn't ruined because they still might score a Wii. Every morning the Nintendo World Store in New York has hundreds of people line up—many whom are camped out from the night before—all hoping to nab a Wii. I know that we talk about Wii shortages quite a bit and many of you are probably growing sick to death of it all. But take the time to appreciate this as a moment in culture that may never be replicated as long as you live: one year after a consumer electronic's release, the public is still ravenous for the product. Unbelievable. More »

Nintendo World Store's Midnight SMG Launch

Nintendo is throwing open the doors to it's Nintendo World Store in New York City this Sunday at midnight for the star-studded launch of Super Mario Galaxy. Of course the stars are just the ones in the game, but there'll be plenty of other things to see as you hang out with irresponsible parents and their children in Rockefeller Plaza in the middle of the night. Kiosks will be set up with the game running in it, a DJ will be on hand complete with dancers, and I'm sure cosplay will likely be involved to some extent. They've got a velcro wall people. I don't have to write about this anymore. You all started ordering plane tickets as soon as you heard about the wall covered with velcro. Good thing I didn't mention the bungie run, or they'd have to call out the riot police. Festivities start at 8PM, though Nintendo cautions that fans will probably start lining up much earlier. Good luck, and godspeed.

Super Mario Galaxy Launch Event in NYC: With Lasers!


If you live in the New York area you may want to head to the Nintendo World Store at Rockefeller Plaza on Sunday. Nintendo will be throwing a launch celebration for Super Mario Galaxy. The festivities start at 8 pm and they are promising a DJ with dancers, a velcro wall, and get this: Lasers! Even Halo 3 didn't have fancy lasers! Of course Mario himself will be in attendance to greet fans, and the store will open at midnight to sell the first copies. Oh and they will have 250 Wii systems available for purchase.

Nintendo World Store Celebrates Father's Day

It's Father's Day here in the States and what better way to celebrate than playing some games with your dear old dad. The Nintendo World Store held a Father's Day event yesterday, pitting thirty of the finest father/son and father/daughter teams from around the country in a grueling game of Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree. The competition was tough, but in the end, a winning team rose to the top. More »

Miyamoto Signed GBA Fetches Over $2K

How much would you pay for a Game Boy Advance with Shigeru Miyamoto's autograph? If the answer is $2,157.86, then you probably just won out as the high bidder on this limited edition Legend of Zelda themed GBA SP, sporting Miyamoto's cartoony sig. More »

Nintendo World Store Fashion Show

I had no idea this was even happening, but apparently the Nintendo World Store held some kind of fashion event yesterday. From the looks of these photos, snapped by GoNintendo friend Phishbowl, there was all sorts of Nintendo wear to be seen and had. From 11 - 1, fans were given the opportunity to create their own Nintendo themed T-shirts and then at 1pm a fashion show ensued showing of the latest in Nintendo sleepwear, t-shirts along with gaming and fashion accessories. I wish I would have been there, because being a T-shirt freak, I could definitely go for some hot Zelda pret-a-porter. More »

New Crystal Encrusted DS Lites

The Nintendo World Store has been carrying Swarovski crystal covered DS Lites for a while now. When I was there with the Kotaku crew I saw some of them and for the most part, they were pretty basic; single colors or lite patterns. Now the folks at GoNintendo bring the news that the old ones have been removed and replaced by these new kick ass ones. More »

Cooking Mama "Cook Off Challenge" Party

Yesterday, Nintendo held a Cooking Mama Cook Off Challenge party at their World Store in NYC to promote Majesco's new Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Wii. Kotakuite Alex was on hand to snap some photos, and from the looks of it, a good time was had by all. There was real food being cooked by various chefs as well as virtual food being made by party attendees. Several competitions were held with the winners receiving a copy of Cooking Mama: Cook Off and the rest of the crowd walked home with a limited edition screen printed Cooking Mama apron. One of the first place winners (shown above) was an actual culinary student who came down to test his Cooking Mama mettle. More »

Cooking Mama Cook Off Kick Off

Cash rich Wii owners probably are already in possession of a copy or two of Majesco's recently released Cooking Mama: Cook Off (it ships today), but those of you looking to score a free disc should keep reading. The publisher is holding a launch event for the game at the Nintendo World Store on March 31 to promote the game. That means free food, free games for contest winners and (wait for it) a chance to win a limited edition Cooking Mama branded apron! Wow! More »

Nintendo Store Hosts Spectrobes Shindig

This Saturday, March 10, Nintendo and Disney will be throwing a party at the Nintendo World Store in New York City to show off the upcoming Nintendo DS game Spectrobes. Unfortunately, we don't think this party will be on par with the ones held at GDC this week, as it will most likely be booze free, but Kentaro Hisai from developer Jupiter will be on hand. Maybe he'll buy you some shots. More »
