Talk about superfluous. Does Nintendo really need a raffle to attract customers? In fact, I'm wishing they'd shelve the damn thing. The booth is about to burst.

"There's only one DS?" I ask, pointing to the prizes.
"Yes. Only one," a chipper booth girl says, offering me a Mario facemask.
"Can I have a Luigi?" I ask.
"Of course."

Ditch the goodies, the booth companions and even the downloads. The Dual Screen's so popular in Japan that all they'd have to do is put up a cardboard sign that said "DS" and people would gather. Keep those niffy Nintendo colored pencils, though. Gonna need something to write with.
