Child's Play receives a huge donation from Nintendo

via DS Fanboy


Nintendo sent out an avalanche of Nintendo DS handhelds and games to the Penny Arcade headquarters last week, donating the towering collection to Child's Play. The gamer-run charity has been donating toys, games, and other gifts to children's hospitals since 2003. Since then, the altruistic group has raised millions of dollars for its partner hospitals.

Nintendo made sure to provide something for everyone with its donation, delivering DS systems in every color and handing out hundreds of copies of Nintendogs, Big Brain Academy, Mario Kart DS, and many other titles. Gabe posted photos of the mountainous shipment and assured readers that the DS Lites will find their way to the gracious hands of kids in children's hospitals soon.

DS fanboy (via PA) says Childs Play had to buy them from nintendo, at a cut price ofcourse.

Not so generous of them anymore but still cool :)

Nice job Nintendo :)

Something you'll NEVER hear $ony or Micro$oft doing.

Nintendo Rocks!

That is a veritable mountain of great gaming. Quite literally a cornucopia of computed joy! I for one am seriously impressed. Prize goes to whoever can determine the size of the donation in US dollars using only that picture (I'm assuming no one has released the actual cost of the donation?)

OK, first off I understood from reading the news about this that it was *NOT* a donoation from Nintendo, however a very good discount was given to Child's Play on this purchase. So still score on to Nintendo for a good deed.



For those whom presume others are not involved. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation great things happening there.

And Sony *is* mixing it up also.
