Meet Mario, break a record, and win a signed copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2

Live in Melbourne and want to get in on the launch action for Super Mario Galaxy 2? We've got the scoop!

Well, actually, Nintendo's got the scoop, we're just passing the news on :) 

Super Mario Galaxy 2, arguably one of the most anticipated games of the year (even for us!), is launching on the 1st of July, and Nintendo's partnering with EB Games to bring Melbourne gamers a special event. Rock up to EB Games on Swanston St, take part in an attempt to break the world record of hugging (we shit you not), purchase or pick up your pre-order of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and go into the draw to win a copy signed by Mr Miyamato himself. 

Here's the deets from the release:

To celebrate the much anticipated launch of Super Mario Galaxy 2, (available in stores July 1) Mario himself, and TV and radio personality Jabba will be at The Nintendo Experience, EB Games, Swanston Street, Melbourne at 7:00am, July 1 to establish the record for the most amount of hugs by a mascot character in 20 minutes!

To commemorate this, every hugger who attends on the day will get their own personal photo of the occasion and will be one of the first in Australia to experience the spectacular new items and new stages of the 3D galactic video game, Super Mario Galaxy 2. They will be the first to run, jump and fly through a 3D dazzling galaxy, bursting with imagination.

Plus everyone that purchases or collects their pre-order copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2 from EB Games Swanston Street on 1 July, between 7am - 8:30am will have their chance to win a signed copy of the game, by Mr Miyomoto!!!
