Nintendo celebrates launch of DSi XL with giant 10-foot sandwiches

by Andrew Yoon on Mar 22nd 2010 2:30PM

We didn't know what to expect when Nintendo of America showed up to the Joystiq offices with a brown paper bag. On the bag was a "guest check" featuring one Nintendo DSi XL and one "XL sandwich." When we opened the bag we only found Nintendo's new hardware (which we'll be giving away soon, of course!).

So where was our sandwich? And how big could an XL sandwich be? Two men carrying two ten-foot subs walked up the stairs and plopped it in front of us. Looks like Joystiq's current NYC representatives -- Andrew and Ludwig -- will have a pretty significant lunch to eat today.

Nintendo DSi XL Sandwich

Finally! A sandwich that makes the DSi XL look small!

this pretty much owns

You sons of a bitch. INSANELY jealous atm.

Is it "you sons of a bitch!"? I've always went with "son-of-a-bitches". But now that I think about it, maybe it should be "you sons of bitches!" Unless they are all siblings. then yes. You sons of a bitch!

where I'm from, for the plural it's:

you sons a'bitches

Perhaps hes insinuating they are brothers?

perhaps...

I am much more excited about the sandwiches than I am the DS.

Bonus points if they find a homeless camp to eat it in front of.

so wrong, yet so funny

Is it bad that I want to eat the sandwich more than I want a DSi XL?

I dunno, that DSi XL looks pretty tasty. You'd need a lot of fiber to push that thing out but hey, that's what Activia is for.

Haha... clever! Yum-my!

What kind of sandwiches are they?

also, I see there on the bill it says "To be shared with friends..." so...when can I expect my piece?

You are nobodys friend. Sorry.

You guys have a pretty sexy office building btw

Unfortunately the bread, lettuce, tomatoes, and condiments are all made of beef. ;)

Vegetarians are bad people.

Huh, I didn't think AOL could afford that kind of office space.

That hardware is sexy, though.

What's this? Joystiq accepts sandwich based bribes?

Unfortunately, we can't do a Swag Saturday give away of the sandwiches. The DSi XL on the other hand...

I wouldn't mind getting a sammich in the mail.

don't throw it away out of integity. Eat it guys!

No. The bread has eggs in it and the tomatoes are made of meat.

Umm, I live and work in NYC? I just ate, but I will gladly come over to grab a foot or two. Also, the editorial we really hurt this post.

The DSi XL is getting a good write up now :P.

: /

A joke... But seriously those look like good sammiches

This is the same exact joke as the comment above it. Why is this one rated so poorly?

Note that today I am incapable of counting comments

Who cares about the DSi XL, we want more details on the sandwiches.

It's just Reggie's normal lunch, nothing special.

@ Blight

I think you mean Dunaway.

NOMNOMNOMPUPPIESNOMNOMNOMPROFIT...

Wow that looks awesome! ...the sandwich not that stupid overgrown DSi.

tisk tisk tisk....

That doesn't look like an oil tanker.

Damn it, too slow.

That's right, Andrew. You chomp down on that big, thick...sandwich.

grrrrrr....

The question Joystiq should answer is whether or not the sandwich is backwards compatible. If I can't use my older sandwiches on that sandwich, then I don't want that sandwich.

Hungry

unfortunatly backwards compatibility is not supported in our 20' sub. You may attempt to use old meat and veggies however we can not provide support should the product fail to meet our high standards.

hey, i thought joystiq didn't keep the swag and freebies given to them by companies promoting their wares.

i expect to see these sandwiches up for grabs on joyswag by the end of the week, gentlemen.

ive seen longer.

oh come on.

that's what she said...

....not to me though >_>

That's what she said.

@ hardbread

*fist bump*

Your name is also highly appropriate.

*fist bumps back*

thanks

Marketing ploys get more ridiculous by the day.

What type of lettuce is on that sandwich? Is it green, made of paper, and does it feature Ben Franklin's sexy mug?

Nintendo could actually afford that, too...

You know, most vegetarians won't eat the bread, lettuce, tomatoes, or 'condiments' because they've touched meat, right?
