My visit to Nintendo World!

Yesterday I visited New York City, home of the only Nintendo World in the ... world.  Maybe I could see a 3DS, buy a Mario hat, and Miyamoto would stop by?

Basically the first floor is all DS and the second floor is Wii.  They have a bunch of game systems out to play.  The Wii's had a custom menu where you can select from a bunch of different games, which can be updated with new games from Nintendo HQ.

Other than games, they also sell a bunch of shirts, plushies, and other random trinkets (mostly Mario related).  You can probably buy everything but the NY-specific shirts online somewhere.

Sadly there was no game launch party or anything (Dragon Quest IX was a few weeks ago).  I wish I could be there for the Metroid:Other M launch.  I did get a schweet "this is how I roll" Metroid shirt though, supposedly designed by a store employee.

Nintendo World is worth a visit if you are in NYC, but it's basically just a large Nintendo-only GameStop (but unlike GameStop, the employees are all Nintendo fans and knowledgeable).  There were a few interesting items, but I really wanted to see more rare and classic Nintendo goodies, or some stuff from this year's E3, or Miyamoto.

what a helpful coincidence
You just made Franis 2: The Great Mountain Adventure (Which will be released by the end of next week) 15-to-25% more historically accurate, because you visit New York City in the later half of the game.

The ones I couldn't get were lame.  Here is the full image and solution.  I think if you register and get them all, they mail you an ENCOM badge.

If you like Risk, Axis&Allies, Diplomacy, etc... you will like Battle Forces.  It's a multiplayer turn-based strategy flash game where you try to take over the world.  Currently it's totally free, even the Premium accounts.

Reply if you are interested and I'll setup a digibutter game.

Look what I just ordered : Dominaludus supernintendicus fossil
heartlessmachine.com posted by Francis Jan 04 2010 19:39 GMT

Dominaludus supernintendicus - (commonly referred to as the Supernintendo Controller or "SNES"):

This specimen follows a normal evolution from its predecessor, Dominaludus nintendicus. Although supernintendicus did not eradicate nintendicus, it took its place in the food chain, and made survival very difficult for old nintendicus. Supernintendicus was very short-lived, though, as it was quickly replaced by the next step in evolution, the Dominaludus sexagentaquad, or N64.
