The Nintendo World Store in New York City

For those Nintendo Fans impatiently awaiting E3 2005 and the unveiling of the Nintendo Revolution, I walked down to the Nintendo World Store in New York City and snapped some pictures. (Okay, I also played a few games.) The place was filled with kiosks to play games including these pretty cool surround sound egg chairs with Gamecubes that had about 35 games to choose from served up off of a hard drive. Also check out the rare never launched Nintendo hardware with keyboard and tape drive from the 1980s.
