New Japanese Wii game to teach common sense
Recently, Nintendo games have been training our brains, eyesight, and more, but they haven't done much for our common sense. Enter the new Wii title Minna no Joushiki Ryoku Terebi, which roughly translates to Everyone's Common Sense TV. Japanese Web site Dengeki has pictures and info on the upcoming Wii title, which looks to teach everything from tie knots to geography. General knowledge of sports, cooking, manners, fashion, and more will also be taught in this title. I wonder if it will teach you to match your belt to your shoes. Data for six players (and their Miis) can be stored. After training is complete, a sort of "common sense index" is offered, much like one's brain age in the Brain Age titles. It seems that the title will use the Wii's internet connection to pull down additional common sense lessons to keep you up to date on your manners. Minna no Joushiki Ryoku Terebi releases in Japan on March 6th for 4,800 yen. No domestic release plans were mentioned. Do you think you could stand to improve your common sense? Or are you hopeless at this point? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I think this game came out on the DS in Japan a long time ago. I believe it sold quite well too. It will never see light of day in the US. I don't think you can teach common sense. Besides, isn't picking up a game thinking it'll teach you common sense NOT common sense?
Black holes... this would do good for america, cause from what I see everyday people here lack it. too many stupid parents watching fox news raising stupid kids. While a game like this is needed for many people, I don't think Common sense is something that can be taught to be fair I still have no idea how to tie a tie so this would be an awesome bargain bin game to own before I have to make myself pretty This could be interesting but Im not sure its necessarily a good thing for everyone to do or act the same way, common sense is one thing but losing individuality and becoming a robot slave is another 2:45 PM on 04.09.2013 Brain Age: Concentration Training makes you feel dumbThe latest entry in Nintendo's line of brain training software, Brain Age: Concentration Training, released to practically no fanfare whatsoever back on February 10.
