Malls across America are locking down Cinnabons in heightened anticipation of tomorrow's "Nintendo Holiday Mall Experience" debut. Now in season, the hands-on Wii demonstrations and Nintendo DSi sampling stations will be abloom in mall ecosystems everywhere, set up to show would-be present-buyers and would-be-present-openers about their need for Nintendo.
Shoppers can drop in on Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu and more than 20 of the latest games for Wii and DSi. Also seems like a good place to drop off your shopping partner if they get fussy while you're busy playing uber-consumer instead.
