Nintendo face game ?????

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Wed Aug 8, '07, 11:59 pm

I just saw a news item online about a new game Nintendo is doing or thinking about doing. I think it's called a "face game" or something of the sort. What does everyone think about this?

It may go over very well, but right now it seems kind of weird to me, and I have to say I don't think I would spend my hard earned money for something like this. Would you?

Well they have brain training, it only makes sense that they'd delve into the physical side as well. Though.. face training seems a little odd, yet in the Japanese world of customer service coming first, smiling well is essential in most workplaces, so I imagine it'd still sell well there.

Well, that's Nintendo for you. If there's a crazy idea no one else would touch, they'll take it and run with it. :o

I wouldn't buy the game, but I might buy the camera add-on if they use it for anything else that is more interesting.

The brain age game I do like, especially since my math skills are definitely not as good as they use to be. A quick refresher has helped me think better.

If I wanted to smile better, well I guess there is a mirror to look at.

I just find it bizarre really.

Bizarre. No way would I buy such a thing.
