Nintendo provides game-playing training down under
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!
Oz needs better cooks, so Nintendo sends Cooking Navi to the rescue
The game will be called Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat?, and will hopefully be available in the country soon. But, the way Europe is still waiting, we're not sure you should be holding your breath down there.
Club Nintendo heads down under
Aussie readers, take note of this day. It is one that shall go down in history for you if you're the kind of bloke or sheila who likes to own odd and wonderful things, like the Game & Watch collection or that Exclamation Warriors game. Club Nintendo is officially launching in Australia next Thursday, alongside the release of Mario Kart Wii.This means that you fine readers in Australia and New Zealand will be able to redeem points from the games you buy and use them towards goodies in the Club Nintendo catalog. The idea of being able to alone gets us all hot and bothered, so we can imagine how excited you all must feel right now. No longer will you need to box kangaroos and wrestle deadly gators for kicks.

Australians play DS, set record
Parramatta, Westfield Australia was the site of a record-breaking event on October 12th, where 381 people came together and played DS. Breaking the record for most people playing DS in one place, at one time (what was the previous record, 8?), the day showed 15 lucky people walking away with a free DS Lite, as well as other prizes awarded on the spot.While Nintendo didn't have that many pictures up on the site (count 'em, 2), we can see from what was there that most seemed to have had a blast at the event. We wonder, though, if the majority were children taking part in the event, where did the parents hang out?
