This is pretty old but my jaw still dropped at this

(Nintendo is) partnering with Nikkei on the software, which is destined for the DS, and will have users "tapping on the devices' touch-screen panels and answering a series of quizzes" in the hope that "the software will attract young people who are interested in the economy".

Wii Stocks? Econowii? Let's economy DS? STOP NINTENDO.

Nintendo is becoming every day more stupid.

Great. I actually wanted New Super Mario Bros. 2. But a edutainment title that teaches economies? FUCK MARIO!

If it's something educational and useful like Brain Age and those Ubisoft "My something coach" games.. that's something interesting, I'm tired of people talking about economy like they know something when they have no idea of what they're talking about

edit: Also, since it's a partnership with Nikkei, it's probably something for Japan only, sounds like something that would sell well over there..

you guys are being pretty ridiculous...
I think it sounds like a reasonable idea.
I would download it if it gets released in the west.

You're all too quick to judge.

Well this is fantastic. Because the DS doesn't ALREADY attract enough 2 year olds, right? We need more Bratz Ponyz Diamondz Islandz Horzez:2

Nintendo still cares about the Hardcore! See? ECONOMY IS HARDCORE.
