Over-priced A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima comes to DSiWare

It all adds up you know

Over-priced A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima comes to DSiWare

Continuing Nintendo's strategy of re-releasing small slices of previously successful games on its download-only DSi Shop, today brings us to A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Maths Edition.

In terms of the core gameplay, this features some of the number-based mini-games from the 2006 original. There are additions, however, in the shape of the Gem Buster, which ironically has also been released as a DSiWare game, in the shape of A Little Bit of... Dr Mario.

There's also a Theme mode, where you can practise your acting and drawing skills using the DSi's cameras and microphone.

Quite whether this is enough to be released in the premium DSiWare category at 800 Nintendo Points (€8, £7.20) is another matter entirely, however, especially as you can get the original Dr Kawashima on eBay for £8.

A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Maths Edition is out now on the European DSi Shop, but, no, we won't be buying it.
