Games like Brain Age and Flash Focus found a unique niche in the American game market. Like the game's most of us played in grade school these titles appealed to our natural desire to learn things. While these have been the most popular games in the US the Japanese market has seen a flood of similar instructional puzzlers that teach everything from languages to skills.
Still in the Japanese market Square Enix (the folks behind Final Fantasy) are getting ready to release a new game titled Wine no Hajimekata DS or Beginner's Wine DS which includes one of the most unique accessories you'll see in any limited-edition title: a bottle of Bourdeaux. I had a little wine training once (when I was a waiter) and it can certainly be an interesting skill - I'm curious to see how Square Enix goes about making this work.
It's hard to imagine a limited-edition of this nature hitting American shores, mostly because parent groups still think games are only for kids, but the title itself may be able to gain a foothold. Personally I'd rather see a game on beer tasting but Wine no Hajimekata DS certainly does look interesting.
