REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo:
WHAT: Video game launch events don’t get much more exciting than this! On Nov. 21, Nintendo is hosting a combined celebration for three giant games: Super Mario 3D World for Wii U, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Mario Party: Island Tour for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. The event will take place at Nintendo World in Rockefeller Plaza in New York.
Fans will not want to miss this event, as they will be able to purchase all three of these huge Wii U and Nintendo 3DS releases (while supplies last) starting at 8 p.m. ET, a day before they launch in stores and in the Nintendo eShop. In addition to early access to the games, chalk artist Chris Carlson will be on site to reveal an epic art piece featuring iconic imagery from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Costumed characters from both the Mario and Zelda series will also be enjoying the festivities and taking pictures with fans.
Franchises as big as Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda don’t often launch on the same day. This celebration is sure to be an absolute treat for fans.

I love that Nintendo does this every so often. Now if only I actually lived anywhere near New York so that I might be capable of actually attending one of these for a change, that would be great.
