Even thought Nintendo’s Touch! Generations website’s been up now for a few days, as we reported last week right here, the company has just made an official statement to kick off the innovative campaign.
“Are you tired of endless sequels that feel like the same old game over and over again? Or perhaps you’ve never considered gaming before? Nintendo is offering gamers an opportunity to experience something unique with a range of innovative new software. Nintendo invites you to train your brain, raise a pet puppy and even create a piece of audio-visual art with its new Touch! Generations range,” reads the Touch! Generations press announcement.
The idea being, as we are well aware of by now, that Touch! Generations software will appeal to people of all age groups, irrespective of gaming ability or experience.
The campaign focuses heavily on the DS’s touch-screen, voice recognition and easy-to-use, free Wi-Fi connection. Plus, as well as the recently successful Nintendogs and Animal Crossing: Wild World, key Touch! Generations titles to be included in the campaign include: Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? (out 9th June 2006 – see our recent review by clicking right here); Toshio Iwai’s Electroplankton; Big Brain Academy (out 7th July, tests a player’s rational thinking and mental reaction speed with a series of wacky 60 second tests) and old school classic Tetris DS (again – see our recent review of this glorious game by clicking right here).
SPOnG is just waiting for the moment our Gran asks for a go on New Super Mario Bros. Life will then be complete.
