I don't remember if Japan got a free gift with Nintendogs, but I know that they released Nintendog plushies, DS cases, keychains, etc...

they weren't free though, this is!!

Think positively. It's a Nintendoggie bag!

NA pre-order bonuses are horrid. I'm amazed that specialty stores like EB don't have better partnerships with publishers to ensure good promotional items. I'm certainly not pre-ordering Nintendogs for something so weak.

My Japanese firends are pack-rats, their appartments in Chiba have little to no wiggle room because of all the promos....their campaigns could use less freebies for the health and well being of the Japanese consumer.

Are you supposed to scoop your doggy poo into it?

I think its a culture thing. Americans are more likely to preorder and then cancel/return just for the bonus item. Japanese will more likely end up and keep the game to. (though I'm sure its a problem everywhere)
