Apparently an Australian 11-year-old had a homework assignment in which she had to write a letter to a company. In this case, she wrote to Nintendo and said she wanted a DS, but her parents never got her one. She only received a 'C' for the paper, but Nintendo did respond and sent a DS her way.   Anyone think I could get a 3DS early if I try this with Nintendo of America?

Get a job and work for it like everyone else.

Wow. Now if only Sony would respond to my letters for that free ps3.

Nice. Hopefully she's not just in it for Petz or something though.

That is awesome. How sweet of Nintendo. haha

Fuck this shit, Im gonna get my nephew to write a letter to Bill Gates, I dont have a million maybe he could help out.

That's awesome. Good on Nintendo.

That's cool I guess.

Maybe this girl could write a letter to my boss to get me a pay rise.

" Maybe this girl could write a letter to my boss to get me a pay rise. "

" Written like a true gamer. As in, really badly and very vague, just like all of my essays in school! Nintendo must have recognised the future gamer in her and realised that they'd make heaps of profits by sending her a ds. "

D'aaawwwww.

Awww, Nintendo.

That story just made my day. As much as Nintendo isn't the game company for me their Australian arm clearly has a soft spot for the kids that play their games.

That is actually pretty awesome

Someone's gonna get fired for this.

Fucking HELL Nintendo! STOP MAKING OTHER COMPANIES LOOK BAD!

Well that's really nice of Nintendo.
 
No other game company would of done this. Nintendo is Love !

" They should of sent the girl a dictionary, thesaurus and grammar book. "

I really want to know what model it was. Since they were talking about her playing it with her friends, perhaps an XL so everyone could see what was going on?

oh, nintendo. 

That's really nice of them. Why is everyone so negative about it?

That's pretty cool of Nintendo.

I BET SHE WAS NINTEDO PR DUR DURR
 
...sorry about that folks

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Aww, that' sweet.

That girl doesn't need to spend anymore time in front of a video game. She needs to read more.

ITT 20 something year olds make fun of an 11 year olds spelling and grammar, while theirs is equally suspect.

This proves that Nintendo has too much money. 
 
But that's a cool story.

D'awwwww, how nice of you Nintendo :) You are actually doing something good for a change.

Did she get a 'C' she should get an A cause i bet none of the other kids actually got something out of it

Yeah, because this isn't a publicity stunt.

d'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Awwwwwwwwww, that is so cute.

This is some great advertising for nintendo, all it cost them was the manufacturing and shipping on a ds and they are getting all this good publicity, well played.

" That's awesome. Good on Nintendo. "

I would like a handout also.

Cute. I guess you could look at it as a cold, calculated PR move, but I bet the little girl is happy. 
 
I wrote a letter to Nintendo when I was about 9. I told them to make a Paper Luigi game. They replied, but I don't remember what it said. Obviously it didn't say "Good idea", or I'd be playing Paper Luigi right now. 

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
