First it happened with Twilight Prince, and now Super Mario Galaxy. Although, I imagine, as with the former strong sales in North America will make up for Super Mario Galaxy's slow start in Japan.I simply can't wait to sink my hands onto Super Mario Galaxy next week. By far my most highly anticipated title of the year, and judging by early impressions by various reviewers across the Internet, this latest 3D Mario platformer doesn't disappoint in the slightest.

The only event I went to was when Miyamoto visited there around 2 years ago, I only had the chance to see him wave to us on the second floor. I guess it would be cool to buy a game at a lauch party, but I've alrdy pre-ordered mine.. I work in NYC and do chk out the Nintendo store occasionally.

I've always wanted to see one, but maybe you got a good point. Do they offer free food or any sort of "prize" for showing up?Out in Cali, we don't seem to get these "parties" that much. Just stupid midnight console launches! Zog, I’m wondering, have you been to one these launch parties? I’ve always wanted to see one, but maybe you got a good point.

They are completely worthless and just cheap ways to get you to show up in big crowds to hype up a game. You'll only end up disappointed. Avoid these launch parties at all costs.
