Nintendo's marketing strategy works! (anecdotal evidence)

[Nino]

So I was just talking to my mom (who suffers from game-phobia, she doesn't like anything game related) and she said: ' Nino, I want to train my brain', so I stood there confused and asked her how she was going to do that. Then she said 'I want that new gameboy (DS Lite) with that Brain Training game'. Pure awesomeness, free DS lite for me!

Horrifically offtopic, but is your real name Nino?

I'm missing the point of that last sentence. What's in it for you if your mom carries her portable console with her all the time to train her brain

And yes, He Is El Nino!!!1111111oneoneone11

You should meet his sister, El Ninorita, or his brother El Ninosa.

It's just el nino, and la nina, with the little accent things. No...ninorita or anything like that

She'll probably play Brain Training once or twice during her holiday and then she'll get bored with it so I can claim the DS.

And yes, my name is really really Nino.
