Make faces at yourself with the DS Camera

Make faces at yourself with the DS Camera photo
     Hardware

Coming out alongside a new title called Otona No Ds Kao Training (Face Training) is a new camera that plugs into that Game Boy Advance slot on the bottom of your Nintendo DS that you rarely use anymore. The camera 'sees' and recognizes your facial expression to help you with 'face training' or 'facening', which is a type of exercise to keep your skin and visage beautiful.

One screen shows the game face while the other shows the real-time video of yours for comparison. Let's hope that we can capture screenshots.

Aimed at the ladies, this Intelligent Systems developed title hits Japanese shelves on August 2nd for 4,800 yen.

If you thought you were embarassed to be yelling at your DS before ("blue...wait - BRUE!"), you ain't seen nothing yet.

Will it be able to tell me how my junk is feeling when I take a picture of it? Is there a wide angle lens attachment?

This might make an interesting "gimmick" for an RPG. If you make an angry face then all the characters will react to you as if you were angry. Make a happy face, then people in the game will react to you in a similar manner. Get into a fight and you'll have to not only deal out massive damage but you'll have to look like you're doing it as well.

Wait... Does "brue" actually work? I never thought to try that, and always got frustrated with that damn word on Brain Age.

Someone needs to tell that chick in the photo above that this isn't myspace - there's no need for her to be doing that with her lips.

THEMSES IS FIGHTING WORDS FLABZILLA

SMW is 9.8.
SMB3 is 10.

10 > 9.8.

THEREFORE it is better.

THEREFORE you are ghey.

It's logic man. Read up on your Aristotle.

SMB3 is great, but the GBA port is not so great.

@entropyman I was just thinking that

This just shows that the DS, with the two port thing, realy has still got after allthis time so much potential.

Still not as good as the remote controlled DS. It has got wheels, a webcam and can be controlled over the net! Sadly I cant find the url... booo.
