Charlie Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Eight key stores in the UK and Ireland will be selling Super Mario Galaxy a day early in special launch events. While Miyamoto's latest epic is on its way to Europe on Friday 16th November, GAME is opening eight of its biggest stores the evening before between 6pm and 9pm to allow customers to purchase it on Thursday 15th instead. There'll be prizes for those who turn up, and those dressed as Mario or in space gear could win a Wii and a copy of the game. Nintendo are sending photographers to each event, and will be handing out goodie bags. Nintendo are also offering what they're calling a "busker unit" to allow people in the queue a chance to play a demo of the title. The eight stores are: London - Oxford Street Manchester - Trafford Birmingham - Bullring Glasgow - Sauchehall Street Gateshead - Metro Centre Cardiff - Queen Street Belfast - Donegail Arcade Dublin - Dawson Street From the main site. I also found out today from a guy in the Glasgow store that if you cosplay you get a free game and that there will be "millions of Nintendo reps about and girls on the door"! I'm currently planning on going to the Glasgow one. Anyone else coming? ShadowV7 says he might be coming along too. I'll try and update the list (like I did with Wii launch night) to say who's going to which event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 From the main site. I also found out today from a guy in the Glasgow store that if you cosplay you get a free game and that there will be "millions of Nintendo reps about and girls on the door"! Wait, your guaranteed to get a free game, or you can win one? I'm going to the Metro Centre one, though I can't hang around to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Wait, your guaranteed to get a free game, or you can win one? I'm going to the Metro Centre one, though I can't hang around to long. The guy seemed to imply that anyone who dressed as a Nintendo character got one. I'll try and confirm tomorrow if I get a chance to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go today Moria? What did they say?

Din Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Will be going to Metro Centre. Don't know what time I'll get there like. I get home from work at about 5. So I would probably go to the Metro Centre then. Although it means a trip up the nightmare that is the A1, espcially at that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
