Japanese gaming site Famitsu.com has photographed the launch of Super Mario Sunshine at a number of cities throughout Japan. At one Japanese retailer, over sixty people lined up before opening to be among the first to get their hands on Sunshine. According to Famitsu's report, the store remained packed throughout the day. A good number of customers walked out of stores with GameCubes in hand as well. 

Imaged below are photographs of Super Mario Sunshine's launch from video game retailers in Shinjuku and Ishiki.
