New Japanese Wii game to teach common sense photo

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?

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...

You can't teach a turtle to eat with a spoon.

Yes, Godkow. We saw.

Anyway, I like the sound of this game. It might actually not suck :D.

Common sense or sensible sense. Makes sense to me.

The US needs a common sense game for how not to be retarded while playing Wii Sports.

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

This is clearly just a game designed for newly manufactured androids. "just a couple more steps to be a person, take this game and you should be all set."
