Celebrities seem to pop up everywhere nowadays, so guess who was at the Nintendo DS launch party?
"Since we announced the Nintendo DS, celebrities have been determined to be the first to get their hands on it," says Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing. "The Nintendo DS was a huge hit due to its revolutionary features � the dual screen; touch-screen; a built-in chat function; and wireless communication."
A lot of celebrities attended the event from a range of backgrounds. The near-complete list includes; Cris Judd, Mila Kunis, Drew Fuller, Jason London, Damian Lewis, Ethan Embry, David Gallagher, Marsha Thomason, Lake Bell, Jennifer Gimenez, Lochlyn Munro, William Lee Scott, John Hawkes, Nick Gonzales, Trent Ford, Alexis Arquette, Adam Garcia, Allison Munn, Megan Good, Rachel Miner, Melinda Williams, Ashley Peldon, Courtney Peldon, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jesse Metcalfe, Zach Braff, Orlando Jones, Taryn Manning, Anthony Keidis, Sarah Chalke, Rachel Hunter, J.C. Chasez, Donald Faison, Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Vartan and The Killers.
This was certainly an impressive array of celebrities, who all seemed to enjoy the Nintendo DS, with pop-artist Pink stating "They look great! They are small enough to travel with and will help me pass away many hours when I'm on tour, especially on those long bus rides.".
Nintendo were certainly pleased with the event and have promised that they will be rolling out a huge advertising campaign. With any luck they won't be using what Donald Faison said as a tag line, "Yo, this is the dopest thing I've seen in my life."
