I know we used to have a large contingent of South Jersey readers Back in the Day, and maybe some of you still check us out. If you do, this one’s for you.
Via Kotaku (and GameCola reader/contributor Becca Clipper), Nintendo appears to be preparing a launch event for Kirby Super Star Ultra tomorrow in, among other places, Medford, just minutes away from my hometown of Tabernacle in Burlington County. (And, believe me, there are very, very few things that are “just minutes” away from Tabernacle.) The details follow. If anyone plans on attending and wants to give us the scoop on what happened, e-mail me at pfranzen@gamecola.net. Pictures would also be appreciated!
