Nintendo Invents Magic Make-Yourself-Younger Software
DS Camera and DS Face Training – First Details
Nintendo has hit on a sure-fire way to appeal to the older casual market yet again - how to train your face to look younger!
How? With its new DS Camera (pictured here) and an ‘only-from-Japan’ piece of software called Otona no DS Kao Training (that's Adult Face Training to you).
So, having already sharpened up the brains of Japan’s aging population, Nintendo now wants to help make them look younger, without the aid of expensive face-creams and lotions. Sheer genius, Mr Iwata!
The Japanese refer to the exercises taught via the software as "facening," which they claim makes your skin more elastic and younger-looking.
Adult Face Training features “facening expert” Fumiko Inudo and is co-developed by Fire Emblem makers Intelligent Systems. Check the official site for more barking mad illustrations and details (in Japanese).
Face Training releases in Japan in August. No word yet on plans to release it outside of Japan. Though surely, as with everything Nintendo-related, that’s just a matter of time.
Let us know in the forum how else you imagine the DS Camera might be used. Like, with games, for example!

Given that it's a "forecast" it would have to be invented at least slightly, because it doesn't exist yet!
Would have been just as funny if you'd said "Sony invents its sales figures" - but at least you used "its". :-)

As satisfying as it is to help someone along in the comedic arts, I think you may be putting us on a pedestal. We are merely self-taught dabblers and have not studied at such an impressive institution as you yourself are attending. However, we wish you all the luck in the world in your chosen career and hope to see you perform for the amusement of all. :-)

Henry Balzac? That would be a nome de La Comédie humaine though...

"Balzac's own letters occasionally betray strong emotional ties with various younger men whose careers he tried to advance"
Irony?
