Meet Miyamoto's Nintendog News

DS News by Ellie Gibson

24 October, 2005

Calling all Nintendogs fans - get yourself, your DS and your virtual best friend down to Lakeside Thurrock shopping centre this week for a very special treat.

The Lakeside branch of Woolworths will be holding a Nintendogs promotion every day from 12-8pm where you can interact with Pip, a virtual puppy belonging to none other than Shigeru Miyamoto.

And that's not all - you can use the game's record player function to download a special voice message from Miyamoto (presumably something along the lines of "Hello I'm Shigeru Miyamoto" rather than the "Your dog looks well gay" type messages we've seen Nintendog-owning youths exchanging). You'll also get a unique gift for your puppy.

Friday will be the last day Pip makes an appearance at Woolworths, but if you don't make it in time you might like to attend the Discover Dogs show at Earl's Court on November 13-14, where he'll also be meeting and greeting Nintendogs fans.

Miyamoto to lure children with promise of seeing his puppy....

Quick, you get the Daily Mail, I'll phone Jack Thompson. Together we can ban this sick filth.

Miyamoto has a PAL version dog?

... or could this be a marketing ruse.

Of all the places, Chav-ridden Woolworths @ Lakeside? What a combination. You know, he could have gone for Argos or something.

Better Gay than a Chav.

"a special gift"

Shiggsy can clean that up himself, a Nintendog is not just for Christmas.

>> Chav-ridden Woolworths @ Lakeside

Special gift being either cheap wine in his bowl or a chav-check collar ?

Will Miyamoto be allowed in if he's wearing one of those Nintendo hoodies?

If you can't be there, get your virtual puppy to turn up instead. And make sure you prerecord a message for it to say.

I'm going to Lakeside tomorrow! \o/

But I don't have Nintendogs. :-(

Maybe I could buy it while I'm there...

But I won't.

Actually the accessories you can find and buy your Nintendog are quite chavvy.. I mean look at those leads and caps. Surely the Japanese must have their equivalent chav? Is Miyamoto San a chav?

A whole new thread awaits.
