Was it only just released?

For Microsoft, the sales of its Xbox 360 remains confidential, but Kim said it is more than satisfying number. In terms of the per capita sales Korea is not behind Japan, he added.

The Brain Training craze continues.

Phenomenal.

Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

Good to see Nintendo taking action in Korea. Now Nintendo just needs a bunch of MMO's and the thing will keep selling.

what other games launched with Brain Training and Englsih Training? I am sure Mario Bros. has to be in there somewhere.

great news for Nintendo... another country conqured!!! Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

One of the most famous male actors has been enlisted over there to publicise the release of the fully localised DS and Brain/English Training. And yes, those are the only two games at the moment, it would seem: http://www.nintendo.co.kr/www/soft/2.php. Great to see it doing so well so soon Smilie

Considering my wife's South Korean, that's a tad offensive...hmm...

Come now, we're above this kind of thing aren't we?

Good news for Nintendo once again - if they're smart they'll capitalise and release some of the big guns like Mario, Nintendogs, Animal Crossing, etc., in a reasonably steady stream - I hope they've been localising some of them for a while already...

I read that about the famous Korean actor, smart move by Nintendo, their PR system has been in over drive since the release of the DS. They seem to have missed an opportunity by not releasing New Super Mario Bros. at launch, as Raz has said many times the Koreans are avid followings of the Mario, but i suppose Nintendo will probably just stick to one killer app for the every month for Korea. Korean DS owners are in for a cracking 2007 Smilie

As for the comment by Vyse he has to be the least politically correct person i have ever encountered, it really is border-line racism.
