Nintendo of Canada announces DS Download Stations at all EB Games stores

Nintendo DS Download Service: Starting in April, Nintendo will offer all Nintendo DS owners free downloadable game demos and other downloadable content at all EB Games stores across Canada. An in-store kiosk will beam wireless demo versions of games and other downloadable content into a players' Nintendo DS system.

"We are extremely excited to be the first retailer in Canada to offer Nintendo DS fans the chance to try before they buy," says Jim Tyo, Vice President of Canadian Operations, EB Games.

Users simply stop by the store with their Nintendo DS, click "DS Download Play" on their system and choose one of a variety of DS games they want to sample. The game will download automatically and users can play all they want (even if they leave the store) until the Nintendo DS is turned off.

"There's been a great demand among Nintendo DS owners to have the Download Service kiosks in Canada," says Ron Bertram, Vice President-General Manager, Nintendo of Canada. "These kiosks are the best way for fans to try out the newest games for Nintendo DS."

Players can try out as many games as they want, letting them test-drive the wide array of games, including pre-released demos that can only be played on Nintendo DS. The first DS Download Service stations will include free demos of:

·        Tetris® DS,
·        Mario Kart® DS
·        Meteos
·        True Swing Golf
·        Pokémon® Trozei,
·        Metroid® Prime Hunters
·        Brian Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day

The selection of games and other downloadable content at DS Download Service kiosks will refresh quarterly.
