Nicole Kidman to endorse Nintendo games

Yashpal SharmaJun 26 2007

Academy Award winning actress Nicole Kidman has an infinite fan-base and (I think) working in Hollywood for so many years has made her days quite monotonous, hence tends to forward her steps to the gaming world. Nintendo has delayed not even a second in signing her up as their brand ambassador. Nintendo has chosen her for their latest advertising campaign that kicks off this week.

The Moulin Rouge star will be endorsing More Brain Training (from designer Dr Kawashima), which is an Edutainment genre and measures users' speed and accuracy in completing aptitude tests that carry stroop tests, mathematical questions, Sudoku puzzles, etc.

The company said that it hoped the 'universal appeal' of Kidman would help to extend Nintendo's success beyond its traditional young male audience. In the image, you can see Kidman solving some brainteasers on a Nintendo handheld.

I've quickly found that training my brain is a great way to keep my mind feeling young.

- says Nichol Kidman

You will be able to see Kidman in a new TV advertisement that will be aired this week. Nintendo claims that in the advertisement, fans will see her as they've never seen her before. Hopefully, we will be looking Kidman in a home setting, relaxing and training her brain while playing More Brain Training on DS handheld.
