And the winner is... Julio Sarmiento. And Mario, of course.

Nintendo has published a few images of some of the first consumers to pick up Super Mario Galaxy at launch from the Nintendo World store in New York. Here's the excerpt published Nov 11, 2007:

Kicking off the holiday shopping season on the evening of Sunday, Nov. 11, a multitude of Nintendo fans lined up at New York's Nintendo World store to be the first in the country to buy Super Mario Galaxy, the highly anticipated new game for Nintendo's Wii system. True to its heritage, Super Mario Galaxy continues the legacy of fun and joyful Mario games. Every few years, a Mario game sets a new standard for the video game industry. That new era began tonight.

Have a peek at two others at the jump. To those who picked up the game: what do you think?
