Nintendo provides game-playing training down under


Nintendo is an odd company. While we won't argue the merits of doing something like this, we will argue that Nintendo could've used some new games. Confused? So are we, so let's break it down.

Basically, Nintendo is conducting an hour-long "beginner's class" with Animal Crossing: Wild World and Nintendogs, in the hopes that they can show people how great their really old games are. In all seriousness, we imagine the classes will mostly revolve around introducing the device to skeptical folks, as well as the ease of using the stylus on the touch-screen. It all takes place at ACMI, Screen Pit Room, Federation Square, Flinders Street Melbourne, so if you're anywhere near there this Thursday between 6:00pm – 7:00pm, show up and take some pictures.

Then send those pictures to us!

Want to hear every K.K. Slider song?


At once? Then click the play button on the video above. But, be warned that this is ... well, it's weird.

Frankly, we don't understand why someone would do this. Sure, we want to hear every K.K. Slider song too, but we don't want to listen to them all at once.

K.K. Slider cosplay is simple, massively effective



Why, we'd recognise those Norman Lamont eyebrows a mile off! This is either:
  1. The actual reason that Photoshop exists.
  2. The best use of a marker pen and a dog ever.*
  3. The cheapest (yet also the most brilliant) cosplay we've seen this side of, um, Dr. Kawashima.
It could possibly be all three -- we're just not sure. Somebody get this animal a guitar already.

* Don't draw on your pets, kids. It's not cool.

Fight those industry fat cats with this K.K. Slider hat



Of all the characters in Animal Crossing Wild World, we always felt closest to guitar-wielding dog and Roost regular K. K. Slider. It could be his tuneful, oddly wistful singing voice, or even his social awareness, but we know one thing: we now look forward to each and every Saturday night, when K.K. comes to town to entertain us, his adoring fans.

Now we can pay tribute with our heads, thanks to this fine K.K. Slider hat, which has been lovingly crafted by Etsy user Penguinotic from white fleece and felt. The $20 price tag means that it will cost you about $20 more than K.K.'s music, but we think there's just enough of the northern winter left to justify this.

[Thanks, Simca!]
