Super Mario Galaxy party at NYC Nintendo World Store this Sunday

Hey New Yorkers, what'cha doing this Sunday evening? Watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition? Oh, you're watching "football"? Wait, is that the same thing as Madden? Nevertheless, you'll want to ask the TiVo to take care of your teevee and instead head over to the Nintendo World Store at 10 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City (yes, the same place that had the Phantom Hourglass event about a month ago) for a special Super Mario Galaxy launch event. Here's the details, as just shared with us by the Big N:

Festivities include a DJ, dancers, a Velcro wall, a bungee run, a trivia contest, a laser light show inside the building (we imagine it will be preceded by a Nintendo safety warning, so epileptics, stay at home), Mario himself (no word on Dr. Buzz Aldrin), and 250 Wii systems for the chronically Wii-less masses out there.

The shindig starts at 8pm, but that don't mean you shouldn't get there earlier; they'll close at 10pm and reopen again at midnight when the game officially goes on sale (for those of you who don't already have it). The 'stiq oughta be there, what about you?

ooooh, I'm tempted to go...but then I might be tempted to buy a Wii, and I'm broker than a triforce right now...so that wouldn't be good.

midnight launch events are dumb. Not only do you have to wait for something that you can get the next day at target or somewhere else, theres always the chance you'll get shot after taking a subway to the port authority, then taking the bus to newark :(

I agree, those midnight launches suck. Once, after waiting in the cold for a couple of hours and getting whatever I was waiting for, I thought to myself, why did I wait ?

About the 250 Wiis in stock on that night, I visited the Nintendo World store a few times in Sept. & Oct. and every time I visited, they had Wiis in stock...in the afternoon. You don't have to wait in the cold for the Wiis or SMG unless you really want to.

So it's going to be coming out Monday in NYC? Then why does freaking Gamestop say that, just like MP3, it won't be coming out in East US (Alabama) until Tuesday.

Why is Nintendo's distribution system so stupid messed up. I hope at least _somebody_ has it here on Monday.
