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.

    That post doesn't make any sense at all.

    Nintendo already had the store space in NYC; if I'm not mistaken, this store was the old Pokémon Center.

    The store's location doesn't have anything to do with regional sales, though. The store isn't in NYC because people there don't buy enough Nintendo products. If the Gamecube was unpopular in the city, then why waste the effort to open a store that's dedicated in large part to it?

    And GT4 will never be on the Gamecube. Ever. Sony owns and publishes the series, so it's going to be a cold day in hell before a Grand Turismo game jumps to the Cube.
