On Saturday, November 14th, Nintendo will be holding a launch event for New Super Mario Bros Wii at the Nintendo World store in New York City.
As probably the single most iconic video game character in history, Mario has some serious star power (in b4… ah, never mind). In addition to the store being transformed into a fully decked-out Mushroom Kingdom motif , there will be a life-sized Warp Pipe to walk through, competitions, a DJ, and a Mario Museum which covers almost 30 years of Mario history.
We got to play New SMB Wii at E3, and came away impressed with the co-op play. The game hearkens back to the roots of what made Mario so wildly popular. As CB Droege said in his article about Nintendo’s new direction back in June:
I’ve got to tell you: playing through a classic Mario platforming adventure co-operatively with my buddies sounds like just about the best thing ever.
The launch event is from 3pm – 7pm EST at the Nintendo World store
