Hey folks. Dunno if it's been posted yet. But Mr. Miyamoto himself will make a guest appearance at the Nintendo World store in the Rockefeller Plaza (NYC) on Sunday, September 25th, from 11am to 1pm.

First 200 to be there will be able to greet him and get an autograph. There is no sign up, first come, first serve!



Edit - Will be my first time meeting him! Details @ http://www.nintendoworldstore.com/

 

[djtiesto]

Hmm, I'll have to consider going to this. Gotta bring something to get signed... But the lines will probably be ridiculous!

Guaran-fucking-teed.

 

[mCACGj]

I wish I could drive...well even if I could drive I probably wouldnt drive to New York city...shit, South Jersey to New York City. I hate buses.

 

[Matlock]

Bring a universal remote for him to sign!

 

[Mejilan]

We should have a GAF meet-up.

Also, any suggestions on what Nintendo-related but non-game items would be good for autographing?

Edit - A GBMicro, perhaps?

[el jacko]

holy shit I'm totally going to meet him

gonna bring mario 64 and he's gonna sign it

 

[J2 Cool]

:lol :lol :lol "I brought my Revolution from home."

 

[VerTiGo]

I'll definitely be there.

 

[captmcblack]

When does the NWS open? I gotta get there way fucking early, then.

 

[Ironclad]

Okay, I want to know why the fuck there isn't a Nintendo World Store in L.A. for Miyamoto to go to. And of course for me to go to as well.

In other words, I am really freaking envioius of anybody who is within driving distance of the NWS. Well, this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. L.A. area GAF members got to meet Kojima and Shinkawa. N.Y. GAF members get to meet Miyamoto. Fair trade off.

I live in Brooklyn. I can hop on a train and be over there in 20-some-mintues. I don't think I'm gonna bother to go though.

Hey.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Don't you all remember when Britney Spears had a public event like that at a Virgin's overseas, during her heyday, Shiggy went to the same store a short while later and had like 5 times the turnout?

All the more reason for me not to go. I don't have anything to get signed anway... maybe my copy of Ikaruga, but that's it. =P

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I live in Connecticut I would really like to go

 

[GG-Duo]

bring a copy of PaRappa and mortify him.
"NOOOoooooo!"


etc.

 

[CB3]

I think id bring my GC broadband adaptor for him to sign. That way it would be good for somthing

 

[Shogun]

Hmmm See the Dalai Lama at Rutgers, or see Shigeru Miyamoto in the Nintendo World Store. Decisions decisions :lol .

 

[sammy]

- You'll dig those remotes if Psi-Ops 2 every makes its way over to the RevO -

 

[Sho Nuff]

Hey.

Oh come on, I saw that one coming from a mile away :lol

 

[Matlock]

- You'll dig those remotes if Psi-Ops 2 every makes its way over to the RevO -

Damn straight.

Throwing people into fans and incinerators with conductor-like movements would be awesome.

 

[john2kx]

i'll bring a rubix cube.

 

[Ecrofirt]

If I'd known earlier, I'd have saved money for a hotel. I'd probably get there sometime saturday and wait in line so I wouldn't have a problem meeting him.

 

[Digital Dark World]

Miyamoto should be working on Mario 128 and Pikmin 3 and other Revolution titles in Kyoto, not giving autographs in New York. He's being too lazy these days

 

[hooo]

Edit - A GBMicro, perhaps?

=P Make it a famicom micro instead. I'd try to find a NES copy of Super Mario Brothers 1 for the autograph.

Virgin in Oxford Street - London... yea I remember.
I got there expecting to be one of the first and there were already 1000 people infront of me.

 

[hooo]

>_< double post

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Seems like a pretty long trip to and from Japan for a two hour store appearance. Does he have other business in the area?

 

[raYne]

I should have him sign my Xbox...

:lol

 

[littlewig]

I'm bringing my pet Owl for him to sign.

 

[Ronok]

I got to meet him a long time ago when he came down to London, was a good experience........ Let me tell you this though, there was well over 200 people (including me) there by 7am........ And ermmmm he wasn't gunna be there until like the 12. :-/

He ended up staying to sign a lot more peoples stuff then he was meant to though.... Got through everyone in the end.

 

[Particle Physicist]

i should have him sign my broken gamecube.. and then ask him to fix it.


..

if im not busy.. i might actually go .

 

[Jacobi]

Ask him about Mario 128

 

[VerTiGo]

They should be promoting the Revolution at this event...

 

[Baron Aloha]

That store looks neat.

 

[crunker99]

So what do u guys think based on past events for the timing to get there... u think 6am is suficient?

 

[Mejilan]

I just got back from the NWS during my lunch break.

Bad news for me. I won't be able to meet Miyamoto afterall.

They are expecting 2500-5000 people to show up, and people will start lining up before store closing on Saturday, and just camp out overnight. Nintendo World Store employees and Rockefeller Center security are coordinating to set up the lines and overnight camp out. It'll be impossible to show up anytime Sunday morning and still expect to be part of the first 200 that will be meeting Miyamoto (let alone the first 10 that'll swap Nintendogs data with him.)

I have a bachelor party (my brother's) to attend Saturday night, so there's no hope for me.

Nintendo will be purchasing 200 pizzas to distribute to those lined up. 75 will be handed out Saturday night, and the remaining 125 throughout the day Sunday. According to the employee I spoke with, this will be free of charge.

Also, Nintendo will try to arrange pre-signed (by Miyamoto) swag to purchase, for those that won't be able to secure autographs of their own. The loot will likely not be very cheap.

Feck. I'm really disappointed.

Edit - Some people will be hovering at the store as early as TODAY, even though officially, Nintendo won't be allowing lines to start forming until around closing of the store tomorrow, Saturday evening.

Uhm... why are you complaining? we get E3.. and Miyamoto tends to walk around on the show floor on the last day just to watch people play games. I met him at E3 2001 and nobody else even seemed to notice him!

 

[Mihail]

:lol :lol :lol

Gamers, man -- gamers.

When people line up to meet Michael Jordan, you don't go "These Bulls fans are amazing."

 

[Westonian]

I'm on the other side of the country unfortunately. The good news is I can already die happy:

 

[Mejilan]

That's definitely his sig. Nice.

 

[Mihail]

Which of these two do you guys think would be better to get autographed: GC or DS?

 

[Unison]

True, I suppose, plus I've learned that anything that's free in NYC prompts lines so ungodly that you're better off just paying for whatever's being given away.

F yeah. It's worth it for the free pizza!!1

 

[CrisKre]

I would get signed the Ds cover. Oh, and for u: :lol :lol :lol :lol *kiss

 

[DDayton]

When I get a chance to get him to sign something, it will be one of my arcade marquees... either Donkey Kong, DK Jr., or Mario Bros.
