Nintendo DS Gets Camera and "Facening"

DS Gets Camera and FaceningSure, training your brain, that makes sense. But your skin? Not so much. And your face? Even less. But apparently that's the next step for the Nintendo DS. A game that translates roughly into 'Face Training' is being prepped for release (in Japan) that helps you improve your looks though face exercises, or as Nintendo calls it (we kid you not), "facening."

The game comes with a stand for hands-free use and a camera to assure you're performing the face exercise correctly. We're not sure if the software matches up points on your face, or if you have to just look and see if you're performing the exercise properly.

The camera is also the first official one available for the DS, though so far there has been no mention of other uses for the camera. It's hard to imagine Nintendo is wasting it on just this game.
