First up, CBS News has some rather extensive coverage, both in article and video form, on Nintendo's brain-tickling title Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. With the focal point of the piece being that these types of "brain games" are excellent for senior citizens, allowing them to keep a nimble mind through continuous use of the title, it paints one excellent picture overall. The debate as to whether these types of games actually can benefit your health is one that is sure to be without resolution for some time to come, but getting seniors and those who would otherwise be disinterested in games, playing and enjoying themselves, is a huge win for Nintendo.CBS isn't the only news affiliate covering the Brain Age story, however, as a local Arizona news team also covered the game. This local Fox News team actually took the game to the streets and got it into the hands of average citizens, recording their reactions. What's also surprising is that the team even brought up the voice recognition problems that so many of us have had, which shows they really put their time in with the game.

They should have told about the DS Lite bundle at Best Buy and Circuit City.

They did mention the Nintendo statement on the voice recognization which I can tell you is the truth. I had a chest cold and the voice recognization had trouble with my black, yellow. You have to work on figuring out how to say words.
The trouble with blue is it sounds similar to blew. Trust me people from various parts of the country have real trouble understanding people from other parts. In North Carolina for instance someone could ask for potting soil and someone from out of state or even the UK or Canada would swear they were being asked for parting soul.

So wait... on the CBS article, it mentions, "Another video game is touted as a help for weight loss." You mean DDR? Does Konami not want the game being mentioned by name or what?

There are number of dance pad games. You can see them in the arcades. Could be a time decision plus the story was about the Brain Age game not a dance pad game.

It's amazing what you can get in exchange for being ad space and air time in places that aren't normally recipients of video game marketing money. It was odd seeing a big Nintendo ad in the business section of the Los Angeles Times.
A lot of small affiliate TV channels news operations are blatantly for sale. Several around here recently helped promote a medical hoax in connection to an upcoming movie. The amount of time they spend on 'news' that is purely promotion for other programming on the same network has grown to an average of 10% of their nightly broadcast. Thats a huge savings compared to outright buying air time for ads.

Yah, but somehow this feels like a real survey. They went up to people on the street, and you could tell that they weren't actors. Plus they showed that people had difficulties with the product, and that some didn't like it. If it were an ad, wouldn't it just make sense to say its the best thing since sliced pie.
