Drill Sergeant Mindstrong brings all the fun of math to boot camp
Confirmed: XSEED's Drill Sergeant Mindstrong is not Marvelous's Discipline. It lacks the subtly beautiful illustration, prison-escape plot, and freaky alien Wiimote analogue. Mindstrong substitutes an ugly cartoon drill sergeant and ape-armed avatars for all of those things.Drill Sergeant Mindstrong puts players into a brain-training boot camp, divided into "Focus Training" and "Basic Training" modes. In either mode, performing well increases a player's rank, and performing poorly increases the drill sergeant's anger level. When he can't stand your failures anymore, he will "embarrass players by making them do punishments right there on the spot." Maybe it automatically notifies friends that you're playing Drill Sergeant Mindstrong.The game is scheduled to come out on WiiWare next month.%Gallery-48851%
XSEED unleashing Drill Sergeant MindStrong on WiiWare
The ESRB ratings database has revealed the first WiiWare game from publisher XSEED: Drill Sergeant Mindstrong, which is, uh, a brain-training minigame collection. A weird one.The description of the game mentions minigames "in which players train and compete in math, rhythm, and reflex/timing drills guided by a trainer named Sergeant Mindstrong." The whole thing has a military theme, including a saluting minigame and one about marching in time. All the minigames will have "Hell" at the beginning of the title, like "Hell Roll Call." Siliconera speculates, because of the XSEED/Marvelous connection, that this is Discipline, the WiiWare game announced last year. The title fits, as well. However, Discipline is a sort of adventure about escaping from prison, and this is military brain training.
