Nintendo Connection Tour '08

Hokay...

I just saw this newspost about this year's Nintendo Connection Tour, and I thought it would be a fanTAStic opportunity for some of us ZU Aussies to get together. I'm going to leave it up to you guys to do most of the planning -- this is more of an "informative" thread, if you will -- but I will say that I have already suggested this as a potential location in the Melbourne Meetup thread.

For those who don't know what the Connection Tour is, it's essentially where Nintendo showcases all its new/upcoming gizmos and whatnot to the public of Australia. There'll be play booths, tournaments, prizes... tons of fun Nintendo-related stuff to do, the perfect atmosphere for Nintendo fans like ourselves to get together and go bonkers. Each stop of the tour is held at a Westfields shopping centre.

Here's the schedule for the Tour:

QUEENSLAND
Chermside, 28 June – 29 June
Carindale, 30 June – 1 July

NEW SOUTH WALES
Chatswood, 4 July – 5 July
Parramatta, 6 July – 7 July

WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Carousel - 7 July – 8 July

VICTORIA
Fountain Gate - 10 July – 11 July
Southland - 12 July – 13 July

SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Marion, 14 July – 15 July


If anyone from the Sydney area wants to meet up with me, I'll certainly be going to both the Parramatta and Chatswood stops of the tour. I plan on going to all four days, but if I can't make it to all those, I will make sure I go at least one of the days of each NSW stop.

I'll leave the rest up to you guys.

I'll certainly be at one of the Chermside ones.

I'm not from Australia but I would definately like to go. I've always wanted to site see down under and explore its culture and terrain.

Hey to all the Aussies, its your american cousin JC
