If they would make an English version of this (Nihongo ga Nigate, I guess), I might get a DS.  My Japanese sucks.  Of course, it won't happen.

Brain Age is has a pretty huge marketing push. I saw it in a science mag I read, Discover or Scientific American, and it's been on a couple tv stations as well (Discovery or Science or History Science or summat).

What does that bolded part mean?

No hablo Japanese.

I plan on getting this - for my kids of course!  We're now a 3 DS family.  If only they'd add a phone or at least a datebook/address module, then I bet I could get my husband on board too.

The bolded parts are the Japanese Brain Age titles.

Been thinking about putting this on my GameFly queue, hmmm....

And I usually whoop ass at "standardized tests" as Schild puts it. Heck, I even had a nice time taking the GREs....

What the fuck is wrong with me?
