Oh Australia: in all the excitement about the 3DS European and North American launches, with their special guests and exciting giveaways, somehow you got forgotten about. Don't worry though: we still love you, so here's the 3DS launch events you could be attending next Wednesday night.
The official event kicks off next Wednesday night at Melbourne's EB Games store on Swanston St. There'll be drinks and music, and while one lucky customer will get their console for nothing, everyone will receive a special Mii souvenir. Curious about what that is? You'll have to go down to find out.
If you can't get to Melbourne, several other EB Games stores are open for midnight events next week, including stores in Canberra, Campbelltown, Indooroopilly, and Midland, WA.
The launch line-up for 3DS in Australia looks a lot like this:
*Nintendogs + Cats
Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
Super Monkey Ball 3D
Ridge Racer 3D
Rayman 3D
Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D
LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
The Sims 3
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 3D
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars
Asphalt 3D
Rabbids Travel in Time 3D

I remember when there used to be EB Games (and Babbage's) down here, before they morphed into GameStops...
Sounds like a cool event. Wonder what the Mii souvenier will be...
what about Perth
Where I come from it used to be Software ETC, before they were bought out by Gamestop. I miss that store name.
If only they would do a party here in the U.S.
YAY! More launch zones!
Sweet, when we go to see my sister in law in Oz, we always go into Melbourne. Been in that store a few times The staff are so much friendlier than the ones in miserable old England.
EB Games was actually Electronic Boutique before they shortened it to just EB games. I also remember software ect. and Babbages as well. Oh and don't forget funcoland started it all!
This is awesome! Too bad I live in the Gold Coast.
In any case, if the EB Games in Runaway Bay (where I have my preorder) has a midnight launch, I may have to miss out due to my parents being out of town and lack of bus service at that time of night.
Very cool.
yay. i am really close to this store, looking forward to it =D
It sure does suck living a long way from Perth but they don't even have one there.
I really want the 3DS, but none of these launch titles are appealing enough to grab right away. I've played Rayman 2 on the PC, N64 and original DS and have Street Fighter 4 on PC and Xbox 360. None of the other's are really my type of games..
It's weird not have a Mario game on launch :S
