Slashdot speaks volumes regarding Nintendo, their DS portable, and games for all. From the article: “While Tetris and Metroid are great games, I’m most impressed by the reaction I’ve seen from non-gamers sitting down to Brain Age for the first time. There’s a smile they get, and a light in their eye. When I talk to them about it, there’s an understanding there about games and gaming that wasn’t there before. That’s the reason President Iwata gave away the title at his GDC Keynote; It’s a subversive recruitment tool. You may not get your grandmother playing Unreal Tournament, but Brain Age can be a starter experience for an entire new multi-generational crop of gamers.”
Can anyone say “street cred?”
