Don’t have a DSi yet, but considering picking one up? Well, you could amble over to your neighborhood Gamestop and play one, or you could save up all your enthusiasm for the Nintendo tour bus that’s rolling through select cities this summer, chock full of “Nintendo ambassadors”, which has to be the most hilarious title for employees ever.
Anyway, should you catch the bus, you can test drive Nintendo DSi systems, explore what’s available in the Nintendo DSi shop and print out photos that you take of yourself and friends using the system. I envision the inside of the bus as being all white, kind of like God’s trailer.
The Nintendo DSi Mobile Tour is coming to Summerfest in Milwaukee this June 25th-29th to start, then continues to the Rothbury Festival in Michigan on July 2nd-5th. All Good Music Festival (Mason, West Virginia) andthe Pitchfork Music Festival (Chicago) follow on July 9th-12th and 17th-19th. Not sure yet if there will be more dates or not, but you can stay tuned here to see if the bus will come to a city near you.
