I believe that this is a very effective marketing method, because 1) these kids have a pretty fun time, 2) along with many other players enjoying it as well - which strengthens their experience even more because of integration and affinity effects - 3) along with even more people watching them play, and 4) parents see it, too, and parents see other parents, too, and they all will see how their kids' eyeys shine and  how they are having a great time, so they will think positive of these games. Kids and parents alike will keep this memory in their minds, have it attached to positive feelings and are likely to talk about that with others. And that's how you start a bushfire. Well played, Nintendo.

To few pictures of lines. 8/10

agree, did expect a bit more with that title something like this: Japanese fans line up for pokemon omega ruby

Somewhere, Al Nilsen is smirking.

Too bad there are none of these in Canada..

Seriously, it's sad. Nintndo has enough troubles as it is. At least celebrate some kind of victory they get.

Nah, those guys are way to sensitive. 

on topic: There are no visible lines

I dont care about the lines you didnt take a picture from nor what did you drink (or didnt) that day. Give me a break, the issue here is how you and your buddy approached to a simple question

I went to the one in Tysons Corner, it was alright, but somewhat underwhelming, mainly cause I already own most of the games they featured, including Smash, Splatoon, and Yoshi.

I got a free amiibo and Pokemon poster tho, which was neat.
