Nintendo’s DS becomes monetary monitor
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.
