Bandai Namco Steals Dr Kawashima

[Hadrian]

So Bandai Namco has this Brain Training style game that basically lets you do "brain exercises" daily, sounds like that Nintendo game to me. Wait a sec...they have got Dr Kawashima name on it! So not only does it steal the idea that Nintendo made popular (thats "popular" and not invented) but they get a license so casual gamers will think its by the same people. Namco Bandai have reached a new low.

Sega made two PSP games in Japan with his name too, you know.

Mind Quiz, I must say it was pretty fun on the PSP. (Don't know on the DS).

Offtopic:
Well, Nintendo should pay the ransom and all set =)

THAT IS PATHETIC!

I'm starting to wonder if this whole thing is a sham. Really, the second you put the words Doctor in front of a name everyone listens to you. Like the Atkins diet.

But I have to say, it's even got my dad into gaming with the simple maths questions which was something I never expected

I think the doctor has some exclusive rights to the game.

"Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"bruuuuuuuuuuuuuu"? Do not get...

if the "doctor" get paid exclusively by big N, namco bandai can get sued.

its too bad more companies piling on the casual game bandwagon didnt mean more DIFFERENT games instead of rip offs of one or two games.
