This past weekend I had the chance to visit two of the coolest technological based stores in NYC, Nintendoworld and the Apple Store.

Nintendoworld is a great store in Rockefeller Center based solely on the Nintendo world, showcasing all of their technology from the DS to their brand spanking new Wii. They have set up wireless download stations for DS demos and stations for you to try out games on the Wii, DS and Gamecube. Aside from the games and game stations there are also very cool displays to show some of the older generations of NES systems through the years, its almost an NES museum, it even has an original Gameboy that was damaged in Iraq and still works. They also have some great gamer shirts, plush toys and figures for you to check out.

Aside from that I also got a chance to check out the Apple iPod store on Fifth Avenue. This thing is impressive from the outside, it has an all glass exterior with a glass elevator that takes you below ground to check out all the latest in iPod and Apple goodies. The store is huge and jam packed with people scooping up iPod accessories and units. If your in NYC I highly recommend checking out both.
