[Games] No Midnight Mario Launch Party at Gamestop, Try Wal-Mart

For all you hardcore Nintendo fans out there who can’t wait until sunrise tomorrow morning to get their hands on New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be disappointed to know that Gamestop is not having a midnight launch party for the highly anticipated game, likely because they are too busy prepping for a midnight launch of Assassin’s Creed II.

All hope is not lost, however, as good ol’ Wal-Mart will be releasing the game at midnight at the majority of its stores across the nation. While you’re there grab some cheese balls and a few cases of Monster, because it’s going to be a long night of platforming fun.

We will have our review of New Super Mario Bros. Wii up as soon as possible, so keep checking back.

Game News: The Conduit Pre-Order Upgrade Revealed

An interesting tidbit of information regarding pre-ordering the highly-anticipated upcoming Wii exclusive title, The Conduit was just announced.

Here’s a snippet from Sega of America’s statement:

For a limited time, pre-order The Conduit at GameStop and receive a Special Edition upgrade, which includes:

• Follow the Conduit from concept to creation in the 24-page “making-of” book.
• Unlock the secrets of the The Conduit with the “All-Seeing Eye” (A.S.E.), featuring custom detailing and light projection.
• Dominate your opponentes in intense multiplayer matches with the “Secret Agent” skin.

*Just a quick note, you may notice that the word “opponents” is spelled wrong in that last list item from the statement. That was Sega’s error, not mine.
