Many My Nintendo members recieved emails from Nintendo of America stating that they were randomly selected to obtain a free copy of Nintendogs a couple of weeks before its public release.

Each "winner" was randomly selected from all of the members who had registered their Nintendo products with their My Nintendo account. However, the number of your registered items mattered not. Some people who had registered one game got an email, while other who registered their whole, huge collection got nothing.

Luckily, our very own Raymond here at Ninformer is recieving a copy! Each member will not only recieve a free, early copy of the game, but they'll also recieve a free membership to the online Nintendo community, the Nintendo Kennel Club. It's a members only community, so only the selected winners will get to attend.
At the club, gamers will be able to share their experiences with their four legged friends, both virtual and real. They encourage them to tell stories of their real pets and their game pets.

You can expect an early review from Rayond of this game shortly after he recieves it, which is said to be sometime around August 1st.
