Developed by Square Enix Co., Ltd and launching imminently on 23rd July European fans will get to feel & experience the mechanics that has made this game such a true social phenomenon in Japan.

This exciting new version of Tetris Party will thrill both old-time Tetris fans and newcomers to the genre, as more than 20 new modes, online battles and multiplayer excitement have been squeezed into this fun-packed game ensuring hours of puzzling to get through. Get ready to be the master of your own puzzle world and create your own puzzles as well as track your progress using in-game statistics that award more than 130 achievements.
Nintendo helped you to train your brain with Dr Kawashima's Brain Training series of games, and now help is on the hand if daily life is tiring you out – or more specifically tiring your face out!
Face Training, out on 24th September contains a series of gentle daily exercises to target specific areas of your face and neck. The exercises have all been designed by celebrated Japanese beautician & specialist in the Muscles of Facial Expression - Fumiko Inudo, and could help retain a face rich with vitality and facial expression. Put your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL on the included stand and the built-in camera will show a mirror-like image of you as you perform the exercises.
Love film noir? Love mystery novels, but want influence over the plot? Get your detective head on for Last Window: The Secret of Cape West which launches exclusively on Nintendo DS family of consoles on 17th September 2010. Those familiar with Hotel Dusk: Room 215 on Nintendo DS will remember Kyle Hyde - the dark and mysterious character who now returns in Last Window: The Secret of Cape West for another quest to discover the truth. Last Window is a thrilling and challenging interactive novel packed with hidden mysteries which players must unravel one piece at a time. Just like a great book, players will not only need to hold the Nintendo DS vertically, but will find the ever-twisting storyline so captivating they’ll not want to put it down.
