Animal Crossing d'loads "R" them

Back in the day, every kid's dream was a shopping spree at toy retailer Toys "R" Us. Next week, North American branches are giving gamers a chance to relive that childhood fantasy...sort of. Instead of running amok with a shopping cart, Toys "R" Us is letting owners of Animal Crossing: Wild World roam the aisles and download six free in-game items from DS Download Stations. The items will be Mario themed and include a one-up mushroom, a question box, and an invincibility star. The items can be shown off in players' Animal Crossing houses. Downloading begins July 23 and concludes July 29, and it will take place nationwide at all Toys "R" Us stores.
