As what could be surmised to be a Christmas-time gift to his loyal fanbase, Nintendo of America's Vice President of Sales & Marketing Reginald Fils-Aime will appear at the Bellevue Square McDonalds in Bellvue, Washington on Monday, December 19th.
What's more, he will be playing Mario Kart DS in Worldwide mode (as NOA_Reggie), so that he may take names globally.
Nintendo will also have Nintendo DS systems available for those who swing by and want to play. They even have two DS systems to give away: one autographed by Reggie and the other by Fall Out Boy (from the Nintendo Fusion Tour).
All hail the Regginator.
Special thanks to UncleBob for the tip.
SEGA ANNOUNCES THE TOWER SP
Ultra Luxurious Real Estate Developer or Degenerate Slum Lord… You Decide
SAN FRANCISCO (December 15, 2005) – SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that it will publish The Tower SP™ exclusively for the Nintendo Game Boy® Advance. Developed by Vivarium, The Tower SP will challenge Game Boy Advance players with an entirely new gaming experience for a portable system.
The Tower SP is an in-depth sim experience that allows the player to design, build, and manage every aspect of successfully creating a skyscraper. Players will decide where to place apartments, hotel rooms, office spaces, restaurants, commercial shops, elevators, and a multitude of other construction items in their building. As the tower grows, players will have to deal with a multitude of real life situations such as fires, insect infestations, burglaries, and of course the occasional unhappy tenant. Only with savvy design and wise management skills will the player's tower attract masses of patrons and tenants.
"The Tower SP delivers a simulation-style gameplay that will be refreshing to Nintendo Game Boy Advance fans," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "This game will not only challenge players' imaginations to build the coolest towers possible, but develop their management skills as well. SEGA has always delivered innovative titles that challenge gamers in new ways; The Tower SP is another feather in Sega's hat of innovation."
The main goal in The Tower SP is to achieve a "Five Star" building rating and gain official "Tower" status. This can only be achieved by completing specific objectives and creating a building that is a marvel of both efficiency and design. Happy tenants play a large roll in the building's success. A large tenant base insures income to the building, but it is imperative that the building management keep its tenants happy. Unhappy tenants will vacate their offices, apartments, and hotel rooms, thus affecting the player's bottom line and the building's "Star" rating.
The Tower SP ships to retailers in March 2006. For screenshots and artwork, please visit the SEGA FTP site at: http://segapr.segaamerica.com.
