Accoridng to Red Herring: "A Japanese software maker plans to launch a skincare guide for use on Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s hot-selling portable game gear DS, giving beauty tips based on users' basal body temperature and hormone balance. Konami Corp., known for such sports titles as "Pro Evolution Soccer," said that by marking a target date such as a wedding in the software, DS users can get customized, daily skincare instructions in the runup to the big day."



WTF?

"We have developed the software under the concept of getting pretty while having fun," Konami Digital Entertainment Corporate Officer Naoyuki Notsu told a news conference.

Konami's skincare software will reportedly be available on October 18 in Japan for 4,500 yen ($37). Konami has no specific plans at the moment for an overseas launch.
