Nintendo helped you to train your brain with Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training series of games, and now help is on the hand if daily life is tiring you out – or more specifically tiring your face out!
Face Training, out on 24th September contains a series of gentle daily exercises to target specific areas of your face and neck. The exercises have all been designed by celebrated Japanese beautician & specialist in the Muscles of Facial Expression – Fumiko Inudo, and could help retain a face rich with vitality and facial expression. Put your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL on the included stand and the built-in camera will show a mirror-like image of you as you perform the exercises.
Love film noir? Love mystery novels, but want influence over the plot? Get your detective head on for Last Window: The Secret of Cape West which launches exclusively on Nintendo DS family of consoles on 17th September 2010.

Last Window is a thrilling and challenging interactive novel packed with hidden mysteries which players must unravel one piece at a time.
