Nintendo are advancing in their plans of world domination. Their ultimate weapon: Games that appeal to everyone, including my older sister, my mother, and even my grandma!  The latest hot casual-game in Japan seems to be a “face trainer”. After the brain trainers, it’s time to work out those face muscles of yours “to have nicer smiles and livelier expressions”. The game comes bundled with a digital camera that sticks out of the GBA slot of the DS, and that allows the user to see his, most likely her, own face in the touch-screen of the handheld.

You can check out these videos in the official website to see the software in action.

It seems also that like the brain training softwares designed by Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, this one is devised by a well-known beauty expert Fumiko Inudo. This is a clever move by Nintendo to appeal to women in their twenties and thirties, but I bet that it won’t get as much hype as the Brain trainers. Let’s face it, this “facening” software  would make you freaking weird sitting alone in your room doing wacky grimaces in front of a handheld!
