Posted by Zonk on from the for-all-your-mushroom-needs dept.

LordJezo writes "The New York Times is reporting that the Nintendo World Store is set to open this Saturday (May 14th) in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Set to be a 10,000 square-foot Nintendo store visitors are promised exclusive Nintendo merchandise and the ability to test out the latest and greatest Nintendo products.IGN is also reporting that the grand opening party will include 'game kiosks, giveaways and gaming competitions, and even the chance to play against a celebrity'." Because nothing says legitimate like Kid Rocking playing Metroid.

    Granted, I've never been a fan of consoles and am out of the loop a bit, but does anyone actually have a Nintendo anymore? I mean, no network/internet connection. No internet based multiplay. No really cool games, unless you count dumbed-down disney-quality children's games based on Mario and Kirby, mediocre graphics, a dopey looking presentation...

    Nintendo seems to be the Easy Bake Oven of the console world.

      Hey, fanboys, this wasn't flamebait. This was a practical observation and a question. Don't get your knickers all in a bunch.

      No, you just disagreed with him. Just because your feelings are hurt doesn't make it flamebait, you idiot.

      And he's right. Does anyone actually know any adult male that owns a Game Cube? Or any adult for that matter? I can think of a couple hundred gamers personally that own consoles and not a single one owns a game cube.

      But I forgot that this is slashdot and anything you dont' agree with is flamebait or trolling.
