This is just a heads up for all you New Yorkers or people who live near the megalopolis. Nintendo will be hosting their Mario Kart Wii launch party at the Nintendo World Store in New York City on April 26. Doors open at 9 a.m. and the event is from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. Oh, Mario Kart. How I love you. If only I could be there.

I know for a fact that there is also a launch event taking place in Houston, TX. It's a bit of a drive for me from Austin, but some of you may be interested to know this. The Houston Driving School will be at the International Festival on April 26 from 1p.m. to 10 p.m. and on April 27 from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. If you know of any other launch events in your area, please feel free to let us know.

So, is anyone going? Complete details for the NYC event are after the jump.

I really wish there was a Missouri branch of the Nintendo World Store.

It'd probably just be Tingle posters and Karnov plushies as far as the eye can see, but that would still be better than nothing.
