That's crazy! Especially since Nintendo World is only like 10 blocks away. I've walked from that Toys 'R Us to Nintendo World plenty of times...

Actually it makes sense given Nintendo's history with events. Nintendo World and the area outside it are fine for daytime events but for some reason they're prevented from hosting nighttime events there, such as midnight launches.
When the Wii launched in 2006, those in line at Toys R Us got theirs at midnight. Those in line at Nintendo World had to wait for the store to reopen at 6am.

I was just there and it is not near as cool as you may think. For one thing, it's crowded as hell (as you'd expect) and it's hot in there. They do have a couple big TVs playing Wii games and a bunch of DS units, but who wants to touch those things after thousands of kids have rubbed their snotty hands on them?
Great idea, but in such a high traffic tourist area, it's not really worth making a stop.
