It takes real panache for a person to humble themselves and admit that, perhaps, they are wrong. I stand before you a man so humbled. You see, I have operated under the assumption (the incorrect assumption, mind you) that the library of DS games available left something to be desired for some time now. I hadn’t even picked up my own DS in months, sneering at it’s obsidian sleekness as it collected dust, letting out an occasional haughty laugh as I let my sense of superiority (again, incorrectly assumed) get the better of me.
I have seen the light, and that light comes in the form of Professor Kageyama’s Maths Training. Seriously, if there’s one thing I can’t get enough of it’s incredibly boring homework I thought I had escaped years ago. I’d been hoping and praying for something along the lines of Sudoku 2: Electric Boogaloo; and did Nintendo come through? Hell yes they did, in spades and then some.
Nintendic reports that Maths Training‘s secret is repetition, featuring a “100 square calculation” method, 100 simple math problems are arranged in a 10 by 10 grid awaiting the touch of your frenzied numerophilic stylus. Sounds like a scorcher. Maths Training should see release February ’08, I only pray I can wait that long.
Know that I feel a deep shame for my previous presumptuous statements disparaging the DS library; I hope in time to earn the forgiveness of you, my liebling toidertots, in spite of the knowledge that I don’t deserve it.
