If you’re living in the UK and have some spare time around 12 – 8 PM every day until Friday (oh, and you own a DS,) you’ll have a chance to meet Pip, Miyamoto’s Nintendog.
At the Lakside Thurrock Shopping Centre, there will be a Nintendogs promotion being held every day this week (Oct 24-28,) and Miyamato’s dog Pip will be there to interact with your own digital pup. If you make a cameo, you’ll also be able to download a voice recording by the father of Mario, as well as receive a special gift for your pixelated puppy!
Obviously, Nintendo is trying to wrench control of the UK from Sony’s hands. The PSP is exceedingly popular there according to European gamers as Sony has a very strong presence in the media. In any case, if anyone manages to get down their and meet Pip, drop a comment!
