Nintendo Gives President Bush A Gift

The President of the United States George W. Bush celebrates his 60th birthday today. What great present is waiting for him to receive you say? Well on Wednesday, President Bush received an early birthday present from Nintendo. Inside of the gift the president received is one of their DS Lite portable gaming machines and a copy of “Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day.”

In the letter addressed to the President, Nintendo said that the game will help the president "keep your mind sharp" and suggests President Bush should try it out on his next long flight aboard Air Force One.

Nintendo sent the following letter to the President:

Dear President Bush:
Happy Birthday!

Don't worry, turning 60 is an exciting milestone. As you know, you've joined millions of other baby boomers in an invigorating new decade of your life. And, like many boomers, you may be looking for ways to keep your mind sharp. That's where we come in.

Please accept our gift of a new Nintendo DS Lite system and a copy of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. You now join millions of people around the world who have fun challenging themselves with Brain Age. If you have never played a video game before, don't worry. Brain Age is part of our new Touch Generations brand, which includes games that are easy for people of any age - regardless of their video game experience - to pick up and start playing immediately.

It's obvious you don't have a lot of time to play games, which makes Brain Age such a great activity for you - just a few minutes a day with more than 15 daily training tests will help keep your mind sharp. Training tests include categories like math, reading and memorization. Try it for a few days and watch your score improve. Brain Age also comes with more than 100 sudoku puzzles - these could make your next long flight on Air Force One a bit more fun! (Perhaps copies of Brain Age for journalists joining you on your next flight would be a nice distraction!)
Have fun exploring Brain Age with your Nintendo DS Lite and be sure to let us know your brain age! Have a tremendous birthday!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Nintendo
