DS London Go For World Record of DS Gaming

Do you live in London AND own a Nintendo DS?

If so, then you could be part of a world record DS gaming attempt held this weekend! The event is being filmed by Nintendo themselves, and they are also hoping to raise money for charity. Good on them. I say, 'Get Involved!'. The even is also part of the London Games Festival.

Here is some more info from one of the organisers of this event:

We at DS:London (a group of social gamers who meet up in pubs, chat games, drink beer and occasional play Nintendo DS) are organising a world record attempt to try get the most number of DS players in a room at one time. The event starts at 4pm at The Rocket Center, 166—220 Holloway Road, N7 8DB. We aim to get about 400-500 people to beat the current record of 381.

We will also be in support of the Children In Need charity with an on the day voluntary collection. There will also be a Girl gaming tournament during the day and a gamers pub quiz in the evening. We have support from a number of people and organisations including Nintendo who are filming on the day to do a short for the Wii Channel!

So for those secret Nintendo DS owners (young or old) here or know people who have one, it’s the perfect opportunity to come down and have some fun. More info from our site www.dslondonrecord.net. We also have a facebook group.
