Mario and Sonic to Make Nintendo World Appearance

winterolympicsLooks Like a Launch Party

If you’re in or around the New York City area this Saturday, you may want to hop the subway over to Rockefeller Center, as both Mario and Sonic will be together at last to promote this week’s release of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.

That will happen at the Nintendo World store, at the corner of the center, right behind the Today show studios.  They’ll make appearances from noon to 3PM, eastern time.  Participants will be able to get their picture taken with the two gaming titans, so says Sega’s US blog, and there will be an hourly tournament, with prizes going to the best scores and times.  All this looks to be part of the proper launch party for both editions of M&S Winter Olympics.  You will be able to play both versions in the store.

We can’t make it to the party, but if you can, we invite you to send your photos in via our News Tips system.  We’ll be sure to post them with proper attribution on Sunday.
