Coming off the big weekend launch party for Nintendo’s Super Mario 3D Land<\/a>, Nintendo announced it plans on celebrating the release of the latest Legend of Zelda game in much the same manner. The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword<\/em> is another AAA game in Nintendo’s roster and if the recent reviews of the game are to be believed, this one is as close<\/a> to<\/a> perfect<\/a> as you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fanfare and glowing reviews are not lost on the Big N, that’s why if you’re in the New York City\/metro-area, you may want to swing by the Nintendo World Store in New York’s Rockefeller Center on Saturday, November 19th. Starting at 9AM, Nintendo World will be hosting a launch event for Skyward Sword<\/em> including an unveiling of a replica Master Sword (via G4TV<\/a>) and of course a chance to buy your copy a day early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can’t wait til this weekend to get your Skyward Sword <\/em>fix, Nintendo also announced that they’ve partnered with Penny Arcade to produce a 5 panel comic featuring the artwork of Mike Krahulik. The special comic features a meshing of both the art found in the game as well as Penny Arcade’s signature style; you’ll want to bookmark this link<\/a> for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
