NEW YORK -- Fans came out in droves to the Nintendo World Store in Rockefeller Center Saturday, eager to get their paws on early copies of Pokémon Black and White.
According to a Nintendo representative, this year's Pokémon launch party was the biggest event that the company has thrown so far at its flagship New York City retail store. Gamers of all ages attended the party, where they could collect T-shirts and rock out to an original Pokémon song, as performed by The Presidents of the United States of America.
Nintendo has released the song, "Can't Stop (Catchin' Em All)" as a free-to-download MP3.
