Celebrate the DSi launch in Los Angeles

by JC Fletcher { Mar 30th 2009 at 9:15AM }

If you're in LA this week, you'll be able to pick up a DSi just a bit early, and do a little partying while you wait in line. Nintendo is hosting a midnight DSi launch party at the Universal CityWalk GameStop location from 9 to midnight on April 4, which will feature music from VJ Fader, "with manipulated video displayed on a giant 360° projection globe," free stuff from I am 8-Bit (totally not fair), and a countdown to midnight led by Cammie Dunaway and G4 talking head Kevin Pereira.

What a perfect event to capture with the DSi's tiny cameras!

Anything in rural Wisconsin?

Or urban Vermont?

I'd rather not have Cammie on my DSi.

Okay, why DON'T you like Dunaway anyway? Give me a legitimate, no bull, reason.

"Okay, why DON'T you like Dunaway anyway? Give me a legitimate, no bull, reason."

I didn't say I dislike her, but there are other people I'd rather have on my DSi instead of Cammie.
On a sidenote, I also prefer Reggie when it comes to keynotes.

I don't live too far away; maybe I should go to this. Haha, then again I don't have any money to buy a DSi...

WHAT THE HELL NINTENDO!? First you don't even show up to my Platinum Member event, then you cancel the GameStop employee DSi viewing, and now you're having a big blowout in LA? This is bullshit.

And yet, I will still be buying your DSi on it's release date, so you don't care really. >.

I never noticed how similar the DSi camera function is to the Game Boy Camera thing they released ages ago... until I saw this exact same kitten whisker business.

I was on the fence about getting a DSi, but now I feel more comfortable not getting one.

Is there a link to a Nintendo news article on this or anything? I just want to have confirmed details from an official source before I plan for it. I already preordered from Best Buy, but this sounds like fun.

If Nintendo gave me a NDSi I would gladly accept one.

Nothing is worth living in or visiting L.A. Not even this. Technically, what happened happened in Malibou, but what happened was that traumatic. I couldn't move my back for a week. I couldn't put any pressure on it without feeling the burn. A T-shirt was almost too much. The sunblock did NOTHING! For the rest of the summer I stayed completely covered. I even wore jeans and long sleeve shirts while working around hot asphalt. I didn't even want to risk a slight burn. My back got redder than you could ever imagine a person could get when i was in southern California.
