Nintendo releasing a game that trains…your face?!

Nintendo Face TrainingWhen we thought couldn’t get any weirder, Nintendo has pushed it farther and has announced Face Training for the DS. We thought Brain Age was a interesting concept, but Face Training brings it to the extremely odd.

With Brain Age, you were to make your brain younger by boosting up those brain cells, but with Face Training you are striving to make your face prettier. One would assume that it doesn’t mean you have to put on makeup anymore, or you can make all your zits go away by doing these exercises, but it proves that at Nintendo, crazy games are made. The game is powered through a new accessory for the DS that is like a camera. It sits the DS up book wise like when you play Brain Age and shows your face on the touch screen.

So far it’s planned to release on August 2nd in Japan.

Pokémon Battle Revolution is in stores now and sets new records

According to Nintendo, Pokémon Battle Revolution has just released today into stores. Sorry that we didn’t give you a heads up Pokémon fans, we will do better next time. The game will be the first to be able to go online and play using the Wii. It will also be the first Pokemon game for the Wii (fans, this is your time to rejoice). The game has the ability to use the DS as a controller and trade Pokémon to and from said DS to the Wii. Unfortunately, battling and trading online requires friend codes (oh boo).

But here’s something new in the Pokémon series, the narrator from the Pokémon show is also doing the narration for the Pokémon game, coolio! The graphics are highly improved from the E3 beta we were shown last year, and the detail to sound effects was over the top. And here’s another new cool thing, you will be able to customize your trainer. Enjoy the news, Pokémon fans!
