Wii Sports Resort to take over Times Square
Nintendo plans to promote Wii Sports Resort by taking over New Yorks Military Island
The Nintendo World Store in New York is the usual launch place for many a Nintendo game. However, things are a little different this time around as Nintendo is transforming the New Military Island in the middle of Times Square in New York into a resort.
On July 23, anyone who visits this Manhattan landmark will be treated to a mini-vacation according to Nintendo. There’ll be a sandy beach, swimming pool and tropical lounge — all smack dab in the middle of the city — plus a chance to play Wii Sports Resort, naturally.
