DS Daily: Please win (no, really)

Details on the new minigames in Brain Age 2 have surfaced, and we finally know the origin of this hilarious screenshot. Dr. Kawashima isn't simply encouraging you (like he would ever do that!); instead, it turns out that part of the game is that sometimes you need to win at Rock, Paper, Scissors ... and sometimes, you need to lose. We can't wait to see that screen. "Please lose!" Gee, thanks. Next you're probably going to tell me that I fail at life.

So what's the point? Well, we do love to talk about that wacky Dr. Kawashima around here (we like it a lot), but we figure that within a matter of months, "Please win" is a phrase that will work its way into our everyday lexicon of silly game phrases ... which of course leads us to ask you in turn about some of your other favorite wacky moments and unforgettable dialogue in gaming.

3. I just tried out the rock paper scissors test right now, the "please lose" question always seems to appear on the left screen, and vice-versa respectively.

It's a good piece of software, I look forward to using this regularly. :)

...Yes, I do plan to buy it tomorrow.

4. If I buy it tomorrow in the UK it will work on my USA DS right? The DS has no region encoding correct? Just want to make sure because im over here on work for a few months. Thanks guys.

5. Chocobo Tales, of all games, had a ton of funny dialogue, like "A winner is you!"

And yeah, Ben, it should work just fine. Have fun with it. :)

6. I've also spotted "A WINNER IS YOU" on Pokemon GSC. Of course, we must remember our roots...
