Nintendo plans to promote Wii Sports Resort by taking over New Yorks Military Island
The Nintendo World Store in New York is the usual launch place for many a Nintendo game. However, things are a little different this time around as Nintendo is transforming the New Military Island in the middle of Times Square in New York into a resort.
On July 23, anyone who visits this Manhattan landmark will be treated to a mini-vacation according to Nintendo. There’ll be a sandy beach, swimming pool and tropical lounge — all smack dab in the middle of the city — plus a chance to play Wii Sports Resort, naturally.
