Dream Skincare coming to Japanese DS
Konami recently unveiled Dream Skincare in Japan for the Nintendo DS. The "game" is more like Brain Age, except instead of being a brain trainer, it's a skin trainer. The game features a virtual version of beauty adviser Chizu Saeki (pictured) and allows players to enter their body temp. and monitor hormonal balance to keep their skin fresh and supple. It would be the perfect present for the greasy teenager or beauty queen in your life. Sadly, it's only in Japan at the moment with no announcement of it going anywhere else.
Good skincare isn't the worst idea for a game on the DS. If it ends up selling really well we may see it leave Japan. We're still waiting for Common Sense Training, another one of these "games," but it teaches people common sense lessons. For example, at a train station, you let people get off the train first before moving in. It sounds like such a simple concept, yet Nintendo would be kind to teach us all this lesson. Nintendo should do every country a favor by just air dropping that game across the planet. Maybe we'll have a more polite society and Nintendo can just keep smiling while they continue selling DSs by the boatload.
