Chalk this story up to sheer befuddlement.

For a company who holds your online privacy so close to chest as to require some rather excessive ‘friend code’ to see another player on-line, I find it hilariously brazen for even Nintendo to as so much require someone to send in data — regardless of how anonymous it is — to be able to get something as mundane as Nintendo DS demo downloads.

If you were giving away a free Pokeman game or something, sure…but demos, srsly?
