So the DS can talk in Thai, it can listen and obey simple (doggy) commands, and now it can see you make funny faces! That’s right, the latest DS accessory that’s making the blog rounds is Nintendo’s official DS Camera that comes bundled with their new game: DS Face Training for Adults, or Facening.
According to Joystiq, the game is hosted by Fumiko Inudo (a Japanese face/skin care expert), and the game helps you to improve the appearance of your face by training it to make different expressions. The game comes out on August 2nd in Japan, however no US release plans have been disclosed. As other blogs surmise, it seems unlikely that Nintendo would release such a complex accessory without other intended uses beyond “Facening,” but no plans have been unveiled. Infendo readers need not fear as my new job (in Japan) officialy starts August 1st, so I will be there release day to give a full account of the game and the bundled camera.

OK, now I need an American release date! This looks totally ridiculouse and worth of the ridicule… I can already see my Nintendo DS LITE in my bathroom and monkying out in the bathroom!
P.S.: Sent from my iPhone…
"P.S.: Sent from my iPhone…"
Bastard : )
LOL
Sorry, I had to say that…
P.S.: The same bastard, NOT ON HIS IPHONE… LOL
Why is he a bastard, I almost feel sorry for him when it breaks down, soo many bugs already.
that bastard must be balling out of control
And why hasn't he emailed Infendo with a picture of our homepage on his iPhone??
Back on topic .. Not that I really want this title, but I love the fact that something like this is coming out. It shows how versatile the DS really is. Can a videochat homebrew be far behind this release?
Anything with an expansion slot can have a digital camera added to it these days! The real achievement was when they had that camera added to the GameBoy Color! Now, THAT was impressive!!
The question is, how many pictures can it hold? More to the point, does it come with memory, and how much memory??
David's right. Devices like these are often not a huge success on their own, but they stimulate good ideas down the line.
Nintendo has the war chest right now to put some money on the line and take a hit if this doesn't succeed.
Is that some sort of a stand in what the DS lite is placed on? I can see the stylus on it too.
The camera sounds like a good idea , I can see more games being develope with the camera in mind.
One question to add , the camera takes pictures but can it also record video ?
Now with the OPRA browser in stores , I see good things coming along if they use the camera with it.
Maybe in the near future the successor of the GBA line will have a built-in camera with fast internet features that can render GAME CUBE graphics.. ( just dreaming back to sleep now).
Oh come on, when the PSP got a camera people were mocking it and calling it stupid and useless, when there's a camera for the DS people suddenly bend over and take it up the ass with a smile on their faces… Besides, a camera? c'mon, even eye-toy isn't all that popular…
