Mario Super Sluggers will be released soon, and to celebrate, the Nintendo World Store in Manhattan will be playing host to special guest Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and more.

The date is Sunday, August 24th, from 12 noon to 4pm, and he will be autographing a special gift from Nintendo to all fans who purchase Mario Super Sluggers that day.

Great galloping Goombas (wait, where the hell'd I get that?), a chance to meet Martinet, and a special gift? If any of you wind up going, I want you to know right now that I hate you and am extremely jealous of you.

Sigh, I wish there was a Nintendo World Store in Toronto...
