Long Lines Form Outside Tokyo's Pokemon Center For Pikachu 3DS

If Wii U isn't a success at launch, Nintendo should consider re-releasing the system with Pikachu's face plastered all over it. Over 300 people flocked to Tokyo's Pokemon Center today to pre-order the limited edition Pikachu 3DS XL. This adorable variant is only available via pre-order, which should make it a prized and rare collectible, and worth the wait for the people who stood in line. Pokemon Center employees spent four hours processing these orders. Head to Inside Games for additional pictures of this launch event.

When's the last time you stood in line to purchase a video game-related item?
