In a move that once again proves that Nintendo is willing to great lengths to make sure everyone enjoys their products but their hardcore fans, Nintendo has teamed up with handbag rental portal From Bags To Riches to include Nintendo DS systems with select bags through the end of the year. Yes, apparently some handbags are too expensive to just buy. It confuses me too. Cammie Dunaway, on the other hand, seems like she knows exactly what's going on.
"Almost half the Nintendo DS systems sold in the United States last year belong to women," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "With From Bags to Riches, we can help the growing population of female gamers test drive some great Nintendo DS games – and look good while they're doing it."
