Face Training game in Nintendo for facial wellness

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

In the Face Training game Nintendo had announced earlier to release a camera for the DS and DS Lite. Three years had been passed since the announcement and in between two new versions of the DS had been released. Now, finally September 24th is the date when the Face Training will be released. Its a European release date.

So, now, apart from DSi and DSi XL, gamers can enjoy this game on DS Lite also.

In fact Face Training is not a game. It is similar to the Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training series. Here, instead of training the brain daily, there is a daily session with Face Training to improve the facial wellness.

Gamers are suggested to use it every morning. There will be avatar Miles to demonstrate the exercises on the left screen and gamers can see their face through the video feed on the right screen.

However, Nintendo did not mention that this exercise will make anyone younger.

It says, “Target the Ocular Muscle with an eye exercise that can help to ease tension around the eyes.”

Nintendo unveils 3DS platform to stop illegal play

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Nintendo, as the report comes, has now tightened bolts on its anti-piracy measures. It has unveioled the 3DS handheld and this will surely ensure that the gamers only play the legal Nintendo games.

This new 3DS platform is too tough to crack than what it was with the previous versions. It is in fact impervious to cracks from illegal downloaders.

Executive vice-president of THQ Ian Curran said, “The problem with the DS market in the last few years, particularly with DS Lite, is that it’s just been attacked by piracy. It’s made it almost impossible to shift any significant volume. The DSi combated it a little bit, but the 3DS has taken a step further.”

Well, let us wait and watch how difficult it is to crack and how long the hackers take time to crack it. Wish this do not happen.

Nintendo sales takes big leap after retail price cut

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Sales of Nintendo have taken a big leap, a leap of 40% every week since the trade price of Nintendo was lowered last month.

The current price of the handheld is £129.99 and it is being promoted to comsumers as part of a ‘Price Crash’ campaign.

Rob Saunders, head of communications of Nintendo, said: “Since the adjustment in trade price has been passed on to consumers, each of the previous three weeks have seen DSi sales increase by over 40 per cent week-on-week.”

The company, as it is usually, stressed that it does not directly dictate RRPs and the firm also stipulated that the price cut only applies to the DSi and not to others, the DS Lite and DSi XL.

For the past week the platform holder is running ‘Price Crash’ TV ads on many channels during prime time.
