Hooray, a new way to buy the same exact game! Thank you, Nintendo!

Toys R Us ran this same deal the week Nintendogs came out. And they had a $10 off coupon, and you still got the Metroid Hunters demo with it. It's the deal that got me to finally buy a DS. Oh and I got the silver DS like I wanted.

"Nintendogs: Best Friends Version will feature all 18 of the same dogs within the other three versions already available. This version, though, will have a new list of six starter puppies: Labrador retriever, golden retriever, German shepherd, beagle, Yorkshire terrier and miniature dachshund."

It is cool that Nintendo is finally bringing a pink version over, though. We never got the pink GBA SP, and the clear pink GBA didn't really count. And if something goes wrong and you NEED a US DS in order to set up an account to play online games, at least I know if worse comes to worse I can always replace my JPN pink DS with a US pink DS.

The more colors the better, though. I think it is more interesting when you're playing games with other people and you all have different colored DSes. YES I KNOW HOW GAY THAT SOUNDS, SHUT UP. But the red one seriously needs to come over here... it is super-sexy. We already have one version of blue (Better than the Japanese blue? How did that happen?), it'd be better to bring over one of the different colors. And WOW, props to Nintendo for picking the two wackiest color choices to bring over, instead of the far, far safer red, black, or white ones.

Yes! The US pink is worse than the JP one. It has hideous black buttons and the back panel is black. Check it out:

This could seriously be the gayest name for a video game in the past five years. I'll be there day one.

That US Pink DS is kind of a "WTF?!" moment. It is like they are trying to make it less feminine or something, when, you know, it is already a pink DS.

I guess, "yeah" for still having a pretty unique DS, as far as being in the US goes, but "boo" for them doing something stupid to the US pink DS.

But the kids love pink and black these days.

Seriously.

I don't understand it either, but I'm sure someone will be thrilled about this.
