No, that isn’t your high school gym teacher (pictured right), that’s Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo and he’s joining with Nintendo to help launch the upcoming Pop-centric music title, Band Hero. Tomorrow, November 1, beginning at 11AM (EDT) at the Nintendo World Store in Rockefeller Plaza, players will have a chance to play both the Nintendo Wii and DS versions of the game before lining up for an exclusive autograph session with the singer from 3PM to 4PM.
Need more incentive to join the party? The first fifty players in line will walk away with a pre-release copy of the game to call their own and other random giveaways. Finally, you yourself can interrupt your sister’s Taylor Swift karaoke sessions in homage to Kanye West’s VMA performance. We call that, “emergent gameplay.”

Did you miss the Nintendo World launch event for Scribblenauts yesterday due to your inability to spell “transporter beam” (that silent a is a killer)? Well now’s your chance to experience it vicariously through three still images: it’ll be magical! Above you can see a long line of people wearing the infamous rooster hat in the middle (uptown-ish) of Manhattan, waiting for their chance to purchase the game.
After the break, you can see that lucky lady on the far left picking up her copy of the game and there’s another image of Scribblenauts‘ Art Director Edison Yan, Creative Director Jeremiah Slaczka and Technical Director Marius Fahlbusch signing autographs at the event. You can pick up your copy of the word-infused title starting tomorrow at your local gamemonger.

Friendly reminder for Scribble-natics in the tri-state region: the Nintendo World store will begin selling Scribblenauts today at 11AM as part of a special early launch. For those who don’t want to wait until their retailer of choice gets the game sometime this week, now is the time to get on the LIRR, Metro-North, MTA, ferry or paddle boat and head on over to Rockefeller Plaza.
The 5th Cell team should be on hand for autographs (hopefully for longer than an hour) and demos of the game. Scribblenauts will allegedly only be sold between 11AM-2PM, so take that into consideration. If you’re reading this post from the line at Nintendo World, feel free to let us know how long the queue is in the comments.

For those in the New York area, pencil in on your calendar that Scribblenauts will launch two days early at the Nintendo World Store in Rockefeller Plaza. Scribblenauts creative director Jeremiah Slaczka will be there to autograph copies of the game, and there will also be “premium item giveaways” — which had better be the infamous “rooster hat.”
The event kicks off at 11AM, but for those who’ve got their h-e-a-r-t set on picking up a copy of the game, it may be prudent to arrive earlier. We have no idea how big of a launch this will be, but in a city of 10 million-plus people, there’s surely a long line in the making. It’s best not to tempt fate. Hmm, fate gets us thinking of karma. Wonder if we put k-a-r-m-a in the game … will we get a female dog?

Nintendo announced today that it will hold a launch event for The Legendary Starfy at its Nintendo World Store in New York City on July 11. You may be looking at your copy of Starfy right now and wondering if another one is coming out — no, this is for the one that came out on June 9.
The event will run from 1-3 p.m. and will feature Starfy-themed contests, face painting, balloons, and even a life-sized Starfy mascot character. That seems like a lot of attention for a game from a developer who usually doesn’t even take credit for the games it works on. Good for TOSE.
