Game system, brain trainer, fitness instructor, reading material, nursing assistant, internet browser, diabetes testing device; The DS sure can do a lot these days, and the list just continues to grow. Now, Nintendo and stock markey index Nikkei are teaming up to bring DS owners a little financial help with their new project, “You’ll Incur Losses if You Remain Ignorant: How Money and Things Work DS”. Here are the first details:

– Nikkei is supervising the project
– Players answer multiple choice questions concerning financial information
– You can view charts, graphs and more
– Will include voice acted news updates
– “Daily” mode
– “Nikkei test” is a business test to check your financial abilities
– Due out August 27 for ¥3,800

I’m not too sure how I feel about the name (which is a bit of a mouthful), but the software certainly helps the DS hold onto it’s “Something for everyone” image.

Final Fantasy Gaiden: 4 Warriors of Light producer Tomoya Asano said in a recent interview that he believes that many people preferred RPGs from an older era over those from today. In this light, he wants to make FFG:4WL more like those classic RPGs, and subsequently making them more enjoyable for the player.

“People often say that RPGs used to be more fun, so I’ve given a lot of thought to what the difference is between modern and classic RPGs. One result is that the story here is not told in events, but instead through NPC conversations as much as possible. Another is that much of the plot is left to more interpretation by the player, allowing them to enjoy the game world while using their imaginations to picture it in their mind.”
