I'm probably going to try picking up a copy this week, I hope it is around. No worries though, I'm sure Advance Wars will be waiting for me, with bated breath. See, that’s pretty interesting.

They had a whole section of a wall dedicated to Nintendogs and it was sold out. This was Tuesday, the day after release. I went to my local EB as well, looking for AW:DS.

Fortunately we had it pre-ordered. This is a good sign for Nintendo. Let's see the numbers at the end of the week. Nintendogs sold out locally. Fortunately we had it pre-ordered.

She would much rather read a book, or watch a movie than play a computer game which she sees as the realm of geeks and males. However, despite this, she fell in love with Warioware Touched. Because the game was not a conventional game, and required you to do something different than just guide a character around a world she became addicted. She ended up getting massive scores on each of the challenges, much to the chagrin of her brother whose game it was, and eventually got a DS and the game herself. Now I see this as a very good thing for Nintendo, and I only hope that maybe the Revolution can do something similar, although I don't think ti will as consoles will always be a bit more 'hardcore' than handhelds.
