The much awaited Nintendo DS lite will start appearing on Australian store shelves this Thursday, June 1st, and deep within its box will be included a demo version of Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old is your Brain?.
This comes as a complete surprise considering how there was no talk of including a game demo with the DS lite. North American and European gamers could be treated with the same little gift when the new portable reaches our shores next month.

What is America getting?!

Cool, I would love to have a demo of Brain Training… I already have Brain Training but I could give the demo to a friend

That’s nice of them, for a kids system it’s pretty unreasonable though- the minimum recommended age for Brain Age is 18 or 20 depending on your version..
The demo should be Brain Age or Mario, better still both on one cart.
Spence - 05.30.06 7:50 am
Since when was the DS a kids system? It probably has the oldest average owner’s age of any current system.
chris - 05.30.06 7:52 am
Yeah, next to NO kids get excited over Mario, Metroid or even Zelda these days. Damn kids have no idea what they’re missing!

Alright!
I’m getting one of those little suckers this week. That’s a nice treat. Hope the Lite Rumble Pak turns up soon as well.

You know, I’ve never pre-ordered a system before - I normally wait for it to go down in price - but I’ve got the docket for this in my wallet right now.
Two more sleeps!

Crack open a geography book kids, or maybe the DS should have a game for this. America is in North America.

Europe is getting The blacks DS, Aussie a free demo…..and what are we getting in the US !!!!???? a surprise !! …..may be
MaCraMaN - 05.30.06 10:55 am
Wait.
Japan - time ago
Australia - 1st June
America - 2nd June
Europe - 23rd June?
umm.
Dym - 05.30.06 11:03 am
I just hope the sticker is removable if there is one.
I don’t want it tainting my pretty box.
PiratedTVPro - 05.30.06 11:29 am
I really, really hope they give this away with the US and European versions. I already have a DS Lite, but Nintendo need to move Brain Training into Western culture and this is the best way of raising its awareness. It’s a quirky title and hands on time is the best method of proving it’s a quality title.

Japan gets 3 different colored ds’s
Europe gets a black Ds
Australia gets a free demo
America gets NOTHING SPECIAL!!!
I have a feeling that nintendo will get us with some sort of suprise……or maybee regie is just prejudice

Does Australia have DS demo dowload stations? If the don’t, maybe that’s why Brain training is being thrown in the box for free.
I don’t mind Austrialia getting a demo in the box, I’ll be able to download the demo at the store where I’ll be buying the DS Lite.
Princess Zelda - 05.30.06 12:21 pm
wait, i thought the ds lite is comin out on june 11
IaMoNfrie - 05.30.06 12:37 pm
lol @ Spence. Although, in Australia the DS probably IS viewed as a kids system. The same could peobably be said for the DS in Japan at some point though. Then brain training and the other non-games came along and changed that. The same could potentially happen in Australia.
Also, America wants something special with its DS Lite too.
rdkenshin - 05.30.06 12:50 pm
I’m not interested in a free demo, I just want the black Lite.

“What is America getting?!
”
Actual games.
Mitch - 05.30.06 2:45 pm
America is getting a reasonable price, that’s good enough…
chris - 05.30.06 6:08 pm
I saw this coming a mile away. There was just too much good software to give away.
NPC - 05.30.06 6:31 pm
I would prefer a demo compared to the black DS lite… or a much cheaper price for the DS lite… damn.. 150€ … that sucks ^^
Spot2 - 05.30.06 7:42 pm
handheld gaming will always be seen as for kids in australia (sadly) cause australian cities are far too car centric… anywhere where public transport is more fundamental to social existence will be a place less ageist about playing handheld games.
Willo - 05.30.06 8:06 pm
Hehe, finally American gamers are grumbling about something we Aussies are getting. I love it.
Eddie - 05.30.06 8:08 pm
Q: what, no demo in the american ones?
A: Download Station
a little surprise for america would be cool, but i think the ds lite is cool enough on its own. keep in mind we are getting a better price on average. regardless of add-ons i’m still going to flip when i get mine.
ichiroagata - 05.30.06 9:55 pm
I just got my DS lite a whole day before it is released!! Should I put some photos up?
Eddie - 05.31.06 12:11 am
I think most of us have seen enough photos Eddie, but hey, it couldn’t hurt, could it?
perdevious - 05.31.06 1:04 pm
“Actual games.”
Yeah I mean, DS games which america recieve don’t make it to europe, do they? Uh oh, reality check.
Dumbass.
Paul - 06.10.06 2:22 pm
I am brimming with excitement. I don’t care if the ds lite doesn’t have a box!! I just want it in my hands…. Does anyone know if you can dl demos from any wifi hotspot? Or is it just in store??
I could have gone for a different colour though.. I like the enamel navy. I hope it doesn’t take long for the internet browser and tv tuner either.. Psp is gonna take a hurting with this one…
Dec'f Ihraegluyar - 06.10.06 7:44 pm
Can’t… stop…. playing… ds… must… eat… Ds? no.. must eat.. rice crispies treats cereal…. Of course.. America doesn’t get anything cool.. But I am still enraptured!! Hope everyone is having fun!!
