The World of Nintendo!!


Ever wondered what goodies this Nintendo paradise might have? Well, thanks to gamer-tourist El Chibo, those who can't afford the trip to New York will now have a chance to have a glimpse of the Nintendo World Store. Hopefully, the pictures that we have here might convince some fans out there to save up for the trip and trek over to the Big Apple for your not-so-typical sightseeing session. Some of the most interesting features that can be found will be the unique designs of modded DS Lites and GameBoys and a charred, half-melted GameBoy that was found in the middle of the Gulf War which is still in working condition. Don't believe us? Then watch the video that our tourist has taken which shows the said burnt GameBoy playing Tetris.

So, plug in that Utada Hikaru playlist in your MP3 player and let's go for a ride!

» Wow.

Nintendo really makes things built to last. This is somewhat proof. I don't think any other handheld system would have played any game like this. I hope Wii's don't have an overheating problem at launch nor PS3(or at least mines ;P).

» Gameboy Damaged in Gulf War

This was taken directly off the card placed in the case with the damaged Gameboy.



"The Game Boy was damaged when barracks were bombed during the 1990-1991 Gulf War. It still works!"



That Gameboy was the most impressive thing I saw in that store this summer.

» Gameboy will live forever

That is the most impresive thing that I've seen in gaming. I wish I could say that about the other handhelds.

» Burnt Gameboy?

I think I remember reading about that exact Gameboy back in the day in a Nintendo Power Magazine. I actually still have them in a box in storage...



But anyway, I find it very hard to believe that the system was burnt that badly and the screen was untouched by the fire. It looks like they replaced the screen for display purposes. I do believe that the circuit board survived the fire, though.

Thanks for the News post. I go to the city all the time, Rockefeller Center, every little bit. But I feel stupid that I never noticed the gorgeous store, going this weekend if college permits! Nintendo fangirls ftw!

And totally did not see that. :(



My Uncle was rushing me so I was in a hurry to get stuff for my friends.



It's a really nice store though. If any one's ever in NYC, you'd best check it out.

I think I remember seeing that burnt out Gameboy too. A good while back though.
