Of course, I was not that platinum member. Ninja Lou was. However, that ticket allowed for a guest to come, and since I'm Lou's bestest best friend in the whole wide world, I was his +1 for the evening, which he got a Gehrig jersey because of too. YOU'RE WELCOME BUDDY. Anyway, enough of hearing about Ninja Lou & PB. Time to SEE them as well. Here are some photos from the event.
If you noticed, the shirt I was holding was free, and quite awesome if I do say so myself. Lou got the Blimp Yoshi T-Shirt. I like mine better!
Anyway, onto some scenery...
Also, now more of us and scenery...
Oh, look who it is-a...
After that, there were trivia games and such, to which Lou and I did not get picked sadly. He really wanted that Mario Chess Set, and I really wanted those Nintendo World gift cards. Ah well. Intermixed between the trivia, the interview, and everything else we both got a chance to play the game. It's nothing short of fan-[tornado fang]ing-tastic. Yoshi is absolutely incredible and fun to use. I love the use of the tongue. Several people who played it before hand told me that they like it more than the first SMG. So, that just about wraps it up, cept for two quick things.
The first thing is that I'm not quite sure why they had these giant invincibility condoms in the store, but hey, why not?
The second is Charles signing autographs for all the fans in attendance. Such a nice-a guy!
And that's-a it. Sunday, Nintendo World is holding a similar, smaller event like this for the official launch of the game. I'll be there, although probably not for long.
