After scoring a hit among the senior citizen crowd with its “Brain Age” line of games, Nintendo has taken its quest to help the aging remain youthful to the next level — the face. Named “Otona No DS Kao Training” or “Face Training,” the game, according to reports, will include a camera that plugs into the portable Nintendo DS game system and takes video images of the players face as they use the game. Known as “facening” in Japan, the facial exercises taught by the game promise to imbue users’ skin with greater elasticity for a more attractive and youthful appearance.
