Our “in-the-field” blogger Noah Powell (pictured) got pics of the wifi launch event in Chicago. He said it was pretty cool despite the excess number of suits and clowns hanging around. The important thing: Nintendo Wi-Fi along with Mario Kart DS launched today.
Thanks for the pics Noah!!!
Mario and Ronny “flip the switch”
Who would win in a fight between these two?
Rondiddy, Noah, and Mario

Mario’s girth and size can easily take on that skinny clown.
:oP

Yeah, the release dates are generally “ship dates”… so most (read: not all) places get the games the day after. GameStop should have it tomorrow, though. 🙂

I just phoned up NWS-NYC and THEY HAVE THE GAME.
Open the flood gates!

Which McDonalds is that? I thought it was the one on Clark, but that looks far too nice. Is it the new one on Chicago?

Well I guess this isn’t the first time Super Mario and Ronald McDonald have crossed paths.
Super Mario Bros. 3 anyone?

Also to note, the event took place in Chicago. According to Steven King (via late Night with Conan O’Brien) there’s an actual place called “McDonaldland” in Chicago, which may explain the mecca-like ambiance for that McDonalds.
I guess I’ve a better reason to go there than inhale McFlurries and Filet-O-Fish.

Its the McDonalds on 600 N Michigan. Its the biggest McDonalds. Ever. There’s escaladers, so you don’t have to strain yourself getting your Big Macs up to the second floor. I have to say that, yeah, I think the food is horrible and poisonous, but god help me I love me some Egg McMuffins. mmmm.

Dude is hot.
