New Nintendo DS Game To ‘Make Learning About The Economy Fun’

What, you didn’t think they’d stop at brain training, fitness and music games, did you? Nunh unh. Oh boy, Nintendo are just getting started. Next on their agenda is to make a game – or at least a piece of software – that makes learning about the economy fun. To repeat: that makes learning about the economy fun. They’re 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”.

Hopefully this signals the beginning of a trend in which Nintendo make games based on Iwata’s favourite pastimes and hobbies, instead of that Miyamoto guy’s.
