I'm guessing there probably isn't much chance of this coming to Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Buffalo so I could go, but I'm glad they're continuing it so more people get a chance to see what sounds like a great show.

Nintendo hates western New York (or any part of New York that isn't NYC), I learned that a long time ago.

Where would it go? Buffalo?

In a perfect world, it'd be cool for them to go everywhere, but let's face it: they're probably hitting major cities.

TJ SpykeNovember 10, 2011

Buffalo would be nice, it's a pretty big city. Rochester would be better for me. But even when they were doing stuff like the mall tours for Pokemon, they never came to western New York.
