People who stop by the lighter, brighter store will encounter images of
classic Nintendo characters, including Mario , Donkey Kong ,
Princess Peach , Yoshi and Bowser , as
well as much-loved characters like Pikachu and other Pokemon .
The store has also expanded its second-floor Nintendo Showcase to twice
its previous size. The new circular display shows off a variety of
Nintendo collectibles, a sampling of limited-edition and imported
Nintendo DS Lite hand-helds, a working Game Boy
damaged in the Gulf War and more.
Visitors will see new interactive stations for Nintendo DSi
and Nintendo DSi XL systems and upgraded TV monitors

and renewable source. The floor is also inlaid with a beautiful blue
tile mosaic in a circular pattern.
On Nov. 7, the store will host an event for consumers. More details will
be announced about the event shortly.
