New York was great fun. It was my first time visiting, and while we tried to see as many of the sites as possible, I was happy to just wander around and look at the architecture. While I love the weather in LA, it was great to be back in a pedestrian-filled city full of independent shops and real bars.

While we were at the Rockefeller Center we popped into the Nintendo World store. Aside from demonstration models there wasn’t a Wii to be seen, but the did have some display cases full of great nostalgia items.

Nothing says “smash and grab” like a Gold Triforce SP signed by Miyamoto :)

It’s great fun and an ideal game for a handheld, but I’m not going to tell you what my brain age is! :)
