Kirby's Mass Snack Attack!
Kirby's appetite can't be sated, so in order to promote the September 19 launch of Kirby Mass Attack on the Nintendo DS, Nintendo has devised a tasty little tour. Customized Kirby Snack Attack Trucks will deliver frozen treats in three separate US cities during the week before the game's release.
On September 14, the truck will park itself in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City (home to the Nintendo World Store), and on September 14 and 15, it can be found in the San Francisco Bay area. And finally, on September 16 and 18, it will be in the appropriately-named Upper Kirby neighborhood in Houston, TX. For exact times and locations, you'll have to check for updates on Nintendo of America's Twitter feed, @NintendoAmerica.
Of course, it wouldn't help to promote the game with just food, so naturally, demos of Kirby Mass Attack will be playable at the truck so you can check it out and see what it's like to control up to 10 Kirbys at one time! Unfortunately, I assume that the truck will only be there in the afternoons when I'm at work, and the 14th is a Wednesday, so I won't be able to avail myself of the treats. I would guess, though, that it's going to be like when Dragon Quest IX launched and they had the ice cream truck giving out raspberry ices colored blue like the slimes in the game. So... strawberry pink, for Kirby?

I live near Kirby in Houston. I'll try to stop by and post some pics.
Whaaaa? No L.A. love? But we invented food trucks! :,-(
I went by today and got some swag and a couple of pictures. I'm sending them to Wootini!
