Nintendo World Store Celebrates Launch of Phantom Hourglass
As is their wont, Nintendo is celebrating another of their releases with a big ole launch party at their NYC Nintendo World Store headquarters! But this is no minor shindig for a third party game, it's the launch party for the much anticipated Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. On Sunday Sept. 30 (that's this Sunday folks!) from 1pm-4pm you can head down to the NWS for a party that will include a costumed character Link posing for photos with fans, a costume contest, live multi-player tournament and historic Zelda items in a museum display. Lucky attendees will get a chance to purchase the game between the hours of 2 and 4, getting a jump on everyone else who will have to wait until the game is released on Monday.
If I wasn't going to be horribly jet lagged, I'd be there myself, but somehow I don't think even the prospect of a new Link adventure will be able to haul my zombified carcass out of bed. But, our own Wootini will be there so if you see him be sure to give him a shout out!

While the story is wonderful, and I'm certain the game and the party will be both a rousing success and a good time, there is a grammatical inaccuracy that I wanted to point out. I hope that I do not detract from everyone's enjoyment of Phantom Hourglass.
wont, I think is what is meant here. It's a slightly different spelling, and a word that we see written very infrequently.

want, as a homphone does its work by confusing us poor English speakers with a similar sound, but is a rather different word, with a rather different meaning.

There, now I want all of you to go out and have a wantonly delicious time with Zelda, Link, and especially Tingle; and I won't take no for an answer. (As is my wont.)
I thought that the game came out on Monday?
