DS Connection tour events have been held at Westfields in Queensland: Carindale and Garden City. They managed to attract hundreds of gamers and non gamers, and both events were a success. There were giveaways, DS demos and new games available for play, but the main attraciton of the tour has to be the Mario Kart DS tournament. I live in NSW, and am still waiting for the tour to arrive this Saturday at Miranda, but folks in Queensland have attanded the event and detailed what it was like. An admin at Aussie Nintendo has made an mp3 audio report of the tour at Garden City, listen to it here:

According to Aussie, there were over 200 people in the audience, and about 250 competing in the MKDS tournament (some people got to enter twice). Runner up entries received MKDS decals for their DS consoles, and the winner received a $2000 prize: a year's supply of Nintendo DS products. The winner happens to be a user at aussie-nintendo.com forums, so check out some of the posts made if you want.
There were 8 DS consoles hooked up to the stage, and one console conncted to a huge DS (with TVs as DS screens), to display ingame actin to the audience (must have been frightening for the driver lol). From what I have heard, it was a pretty tough contest, taking up most of the day (getting through all the heats, then championships). Overall, the day had been a great experience.

Break them!!
Hope we can play sometime, now that I can choose the secret tracks!!
Argh, the Delfino is really close, and I've slightly improved my Moo Moo farm (now it's .2 seconds behind your record). Gotta work on them :P.
What do you mean by secret tracks? And yeah, wouldn't mind versing you soon :).
By "secret tracks" I mean that I can choose tracks like Waluigi Pinball and Peach Gardens on the WFC, and even chose battle arenas.
Ah, you hacked it ;). I'd try them out too, but I read there were glitches which could possibly screw up the game :(...
Don't worry, you can't screw or break the game or the DS by using this trick.
Well, I don't know...
Btw, thanks for continuelly visiting this blog. I haven't been updating cause I've been training for the DS connection tour MKDS comp :P, which is tomorrow. I have some new TT records, I'll post them after the comp.
How do you do it?!!! I thought my 1:49 in Bowser's Castle 2 was good!
Daly also has a new coach, Michael Owen, and the two have concentrated on Daly's putting. GOLF MAGAZINE They're very calculating, technical people. There are so many of them that I don't know if I can play in all of them. J.
