Got a sibling or kid you're trying to introduce to the DS community? If you're a resident of Australia, Nintendo's got an offer you might want to take up. The company has announced that they'll be holding special beginner classes this Thursday that will help visitors get started on Nintendogs, and Animal Crossing: Wild World.

While they're not exactly the latest titles on the handheld, they're certainly good choices if you're helping somebody take their first steps in using the DS' functions. As for the rest of the meeting's details:

• When: Thursday 15 May, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
• Where: ACMI, Screen Pit Room, Federation Square, Flinders Street Melbourne
  

Aside from the lessons, Nintendo's also planning to give away some exclusive downloads for the visitors. We remind the readers that they will need to bring a copy of Nintendogs or Animal Crossing to take part in the meet.
