Bowser said what? Obviously a trap.
I suppose complaining that it's at the tiny, cramped crowded, have to pay-to-park Queens Center again this year rather than at the really nice Roosevelt Field Mall isn't going to get me any sympathy votes from all the people who don't have 1 of these within 500 miles of them.
I'll talk to the boys and we'll see. If Switch had something like Streetpass we might be more inclined to go.
Edit - If it weren't for the one in Colorado those locations would make a pretty decent oval.
It is a nice list of games for Christmas. No surprises, but for first year Switch it really gives some reason to purchase one. Last event like this we went to was mostly all 3DS, not even sure if Wii U was there.
That's a surprisingly small showing for the 3DS, and only two of the more recent titles.
It didn't even include some of their more evergreen titles like Animal Crossing New Leaf.
Good. I missed going to this last year.
Kudos to Nintendo for helping out the struggling malls. I might check it out if I happen to be shopping for Black Friday and it’s there.
Southern California is served up! Two different malls, Torrance and Glendale. Cool!
But where's the web browser?
Great news! I'm only about 20 minutes from one of the locations. Will definitely take my boys to check it out!
Just in case you missed it over the past five years, Nintendo is showcasing New Super Mario Bros. 2.
But it is nice to see Massachusetts get some love. Nintendo never seems to have any events in New England, despite it being one of the more densely populated regions of United States.
New Super Mario Bros. 2?
Damn. My states not on the list again. The Wii booths used to tour here. I played Skyward Sword at one. Oh well, I'm not driving 3 hours to play a few games.
Wait a minute, Nintendo hired someone just because their name is Bowser? Where's Gamergate when you need them?
North Dakota not on this list?! That's so irresponsible....well yes, I know we have less than a million people....wide open area you say?....small towns.....you win this one greater metro areas!
😜
As usual, none of these are within reasonable driving distance. Not everyone lives on the coast, darn it!
Happy Halloween!
Wow, Tyson's Corner... I might actually be able to get there... Amazing how rare these types of events are in the capital of the USA.
@brandonbwii Incidentally, the mayor of Washington, DC is named Muriel Bowser...
Thanks for avoiding most of the usual states as always jerks, appreciated.
I wish Nintendo knew WV existed. I hate this state.
They aren't showing off US/UM? No wonder it's the least hyped Pokemon game ever. Even Nintendo isn't pushing it.
As usual no Las Vegas. No Las Vegas for the Zelda concerts and no Las Vegas for the Mall.
Will there be one for Las Vegas Nevada?
