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.”

Bigger stylus for bigger screen size of DSi XL
Friday, January 22nd, 2010
The Nintendo DSI XL is the latest edition of the Nintendo DS family featuring as big as a 4.2 inch screen which is 93 percent larger compared to DS Lite’s screens and is also bundled with a thicker stylus.

The device weighs 100g or more due to its large screen and it also benefits from a larger stylus and a longer battery life. Nintendo has obviously made a very smart move towards a wider range of audience who had been for a larger screen.
The most interesting thing about the new version is how it breathes life into old titles. Besides the fact that a bigger screen means a wider space to write, the extra size creates an entirely new experience which obviously can be counted as one of the strength of this product.
All the previous DS Stylus had been on the smaller side in shape but for those who had been looking for a larger stylus can find their solution in this version. The buttons are responsive and as a whole DSL XL has a very smart finish and looks quite outstanding
