Nintendo Works Letterman's Brain

by Tim Stevens on April 13, 2007 at 01:45 PM



Unless you're Howie Mandel, the perks of being famous are sweet. You have companies constantly sending you free goodies in the off chance that you'll show up in public with their products, discuss them in an interview, or mention them on the air. And it's not just youngsters reaping the rewards. Even elder celebrities get the treatment, with Nintendo sending David Letterman a free DS system and copy of 'Brain Age' for his 60th birthday. The game, which has been selling like gangbusters since its release nearly a year ago, purports to condition the player's brain and blow off the cobwebs of senility. Whether it also helps maintain wit and sense of humor into old age remains to be seen.
