I don't know if any of you have ever been to the NWS in New York, I've been there once 5 years ago and I think it was fair to call it the Mario & Pokemon store. Now they have a new display that really puts the Nintendo in Nintendo World Store. They have displays for Fire Emblem, Mother, F-Zero, Custom Robo, Metroid, Pikmin, and many others. Let's see what other games you guys can find here.   Full gallery here. |

They're always struggling to make Pikmin a lot bigger than it really is. (We're counting on U, though...)
fffffffffff No WarioWare, wtf. Come on, if there's Rhythm Heaven...
The Metroid/Kid Icarus section should be retaken when Uprising arrives.
No SNES and N64 Kirby titles, huh? Odd...

Mother 3 finally makes it to NA!  Also a little surprising that not all (older) games are represented with their game boxes, but cartridges instead. |

I can't believe somehow an NOA-branded store is putting up displays like this, given how I rant about NOA's incompetency very frequently ( just did that not long ago, in fact). Awesomeness. I like how they put those dolls there too. They should put up F-Zero Climax and Fire Emblem 12 too, each serving as a teaser to overseas players. On a less sarcastic footnote, they should also have shown the Famicom DS version of SMB2J. |

Interesting, I like all the Mario, DK and Pikmin stuff shown here, too bad for no Wario though. Nice to see the Rhythm Heaven games too.

Mother 3 finally makes it to NA! Ha! Are those official Fire Emblem plush things? They look so goofy and unrelated to the franchise Hopefully one day they'll actually have a retro shrine of sorts |

The Mother stuff is amazing to me. All the soundtracks and games? All it needs is some of the clay models and it would be pitch perfect.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to the MOTHER 1 OST for the nth time.

Interesting, they've got one of the super early Mario plushes some company did. See the one in the upper corner of the second picture? Those things are quite rare and expensive now. Not to mention obscure as all hell.
I only remember this because the first video game magazine I ever bought, an issue of Tips and Trick,s, had a small feature on video game memorabilia that featured it. Man, i miss the Swag Zone.

Wow.... now it feels more like a Nintendo store than a Mario/Pokemon/Mii store. I approve! Now only if they put up displays for Donkey Kong, Zelda, Punch-Out!!, Legendary Starfy, Game & Watch, and the NES classics (Duck Hunt, Robot, Ice Climber, etc.)  |
