Well Ruby's experience sounds pretty lame. One game? What's the point? I was assuming it would be similar to a Cube demo I went to in a mall before launch where they had an area set up where you could try out all the major launch titles. One DS unit seems like a waste of money and effort to me. And why are they demoing Pikmin 2? That game's been out for months.

My thoughts exactly.

I was planning on going to my local Zellers today but decided not to and rather spend my time watching The Incredibles
From what I've read in Ruby's post, it doesn't sound very exciting at all. Like Ian was saying, I was hoping more of a larger setup like they did with the Gamecube over at Lougheed Mall, BC. You could play every Gamecube launch title and go 4-player WaveRace match on a large flat screen(win a free GC t-shirt). Very cool. Oh yeah and the free giveaways(trailer disc, tattoos, stickers, technical information card)

Oh well, I can wait till November 21st. No rush since I've got Killzone, Halo 2(Nov 9th) and Half-Life 2(Nov 16th) to play/kill time.

Also what's not added on the Nintendo Tour list is Wal-Mart out in Lougheed Mall(Burnaby, British Columbia). Nintendo will be coming to Wal-Mart on the 21st of November, launch date for the Nintendo DS. Great timing. Buy the DS and play multiplayer with whatever they have displaying.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Left handed!

DrZoidberg is right.
You could use your finger.

Or your right hand with the stylus. You won't be writing at all.
Mostly "point and click" actions. The worst 'game' would be PictoChat with all that drawing and writing(if you're planning on writing) But even so, you can write and draw with your left hand while using PictoChat because it won't need the directional pad.

Pic-Pac requires drawing lines. Being a right handed person for pens & pencils, I can say for sure that I can draw simple and semi-straight lines using my left hand. So it shouldn't be too much of a problem vice-versa.

Again, most of the games requires the "point-and-click"
And if so, you can always use your finger. The controls for Metriod Hunters has been changed so you won't be using of the stylus all the time. Some of you make it sound like if you were gonna write a 10-page essay using your right hand. Your playing games. Not doing paper work. It doesn't matter if your sloppy with your right hand or not while playing the DS.

EDIT:
A good example is this:
Grab a pen or pencil. A good length(not too long and not too short) is preferred. Hold it with your right hand and start touching your computer monitor using your pen or pencil(make sure the tip of the pen is facing you, not the monitor). No problems holding it? Great! Your ready for Nintendo DS!
