Well, if you were in Japan over the summer and were buying Nintendo products, you might wabt to register yourself a chance to win these bad boys (girl, and dinasours).

------------------------------------------------------------- You* can win these.

Entitled "Hot Summer", the contest will take place between July 1st and August 31st this year. Japanese gamers who wish to take part must register a DS they've bought during the contest on Nintendo of Japan's site.

Too bad we willnever get anything nearly as cool stateside. NOA just isn't cool enough for such a hot product summer. One more reason to be fed up with NOA's lack of ...... everything.

That's pretty cool. I'm actually stopping by Japan for 3 days on my vacation to the Phillipines this summer...maybe I should check it out.

Those DS looks nice. I want that Yoshi one.

Well, Nintendo *DOES* provide us with quite a variety of LE consoles stateside (NES GBA, Tattoo GBA, Two Tone GBA, Pokemon GB/GBA/GBC, DKC GBA, SMB3 GBA, Gold N64, Pokemon N64, etc etc)....at least, WAY more than Sony and MS ever do.

Now here starts the vicious cycle:

10 Nobody buys the LE cosoles because, on average, they suck.
20 They don't make LE consoles that often because no one buys them.
GOTO 10;

interesting. Those are gonna be some rare DS'es. If one popped on ebay I would probally get it since I don't have one.

When I was making this topic, I was thinking about all your Club Nintendo stuff. If you're entering, good luck!

yes it does

[calthaer]

No, we get something much cooler. A DS that is...blue?

Or we'll get a yellow one that has the idiotic Pikachu on it.

I'd love to see a NES-colored one or a golden one with a triforce on it. Other countries get all the cool promos.
