Fun to be had all over the country.

It’s a been fortnight for Nintendo and the first week has now been complete with the New Nintendo 3DS and the Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire now out in stores across the country.

Lines were huge everywhere but no bigger than at The Nintendo Experience at EB Games Swanston St. The official home for all big Nintendo releases. There were over 1000 people in attendance there Nintendo tells us and who are we to doubt that – just look at the pictures. Even WA got in on the act Friday morning with breakfast launches, a couple of people even camped overnight watching Pokemon DVDs to keep them company.

There were big launches all around the country at midnight on the east coast and it seems most of it went off without a hitch. Apart from some stores not getting enough chargers in!

So then, how was your midnight launch experience or did you just wander into a store at 8am with one other guy and just pick it up like we did? Such excitement!
