[quote]As if the mall couldn't be any scarier this holiday season, Nintendo is setting a Nintendo Holiday Mall Experience for shoppers to try out mid-mad dash.
The Mall Experience is intended to make "it easier than ever for holiday consumers to sample the year's most sought-after games" for the Wii and DS/DSi. Demo stations will be set up at 35 malls all over the country starting next week to let people play games like The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (which will be hot stuff 'til it goes on sale Dec. 7), Style Savvy (whose ads on MTV cause me physical pain), Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (yay!), New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus.[/quote]

Damn I wish I could go
The Mall of America is like right in my backyard, I'll have to check it out. I've been to the Nintendo Store in NYC before, that was cool. They had giant Kirby pillows.
Nintendo's NY store is my favorite game store :buddy:

It's at my local mall too.

This is within walking distance! Awesome!
Closest one is
South Shore Plaza in Braintree, Mass.
Nice!
And Valve just sells their games on Steam ...
Potomac Mills is pretty close to me, but considering I don't own nor plan to own a Wii/DS/DSi, I'm not gonna make the trek.
Potomac Mills in Prince William, Va.
Any other fellow-Virginians, lets meet up here.

Thats my mall :(
Reggie's just afraid of losing his MW2 bet.
Sweet, first mall on the list is my local mall.
Might have to check this out.
They're setting one up right near me, I'll pay them a visit and see if they have anything good.
I live 20 minutes away from the greenwood park mall in Indiana.
Nothing like this happens in SC. :frown:

Yes that's why they have shitloads of money right?

Oh I'm sorry, it's actually a bit out of date. By the current figures, Xbox is in the same place, PS3 is up to 27 million and Wii is at 56 million.
Grapevine Texas. I believe that's nearby here.
