Nintendo is gearing up to hold its midnight console launch celebration for the Wii U at the Nintendo World Store, located in Manhattan.
The celebration will take place on November 17 from 6 p.m. to midnight, when systems will officially go on sale. Some of the festivities include Mii costumed characters, item giveaways, and a guest appearance from Nintendo President & COO Reggie Fils-Aime.
Nintendo held its past console launch celebrations for the Wii and 3DS at Toys 'R' Us and Best Buy, respectively. The Nintendo Wii U is slated to be released on November 18 in North America.
Do I have to pick one up? Like it is invite by pre-order only? I already pre-ordered mine but wouldn't mind stopping by and checking out the festivities, even pick up a game (or at the least some of their cool merch). Wouldn't want to make the trip into the city just to be turned away though (lol as if there isn't anything else I could do..)
Who else is going? Maybe I'll see you there.
I'm glad I live in Ohio we're an hour ahead of NY! sorry Triforce!! :P
Ohio's in the same time zone as New York. Central doesn't begin until you hit Illinois.Or go straight South into Tennessee ><
Do you know how many wii u consoles will be sold at the event? Based on your article, it looks like only one!?! My kid is dying for one!!!
