I’m hoping to make a trip down to San Francisco very soon to check this out and bring you video! Road trip from Seattle, go go!

But… Nintendo is right here in Seattle. Why no love for us?
Well, Redmond, but close enough! And I agree. Having to drive all the way down to San Fran to check it out sucks, but at the same time, excuse for a road trip!
LOL
I’m so not used to actually talking to locals. When i talk to friends back in the Mid-West i don’t bother with “Redmond” because it’d lead to a half hour Seattle Area Geography lesson.
Enjoy your road trip… i am just going to have to wait until my pre-order comes in.
