Well, it was bound to happen.
Today, Nintendo announced it would sell a video game called POP CUTIE! that’s all about street style. Technically, they’re calling it a “Street Fashion Simulation,” and players will buzz through virtual streets in Tokyo, New York, and Paris picking out their favorite “trends.”
The game will be available for Nintendo DS, which has started aggressively marketing itself to women in the past few months (did you notice those commercials with Mandy Moore and Liv Tyler?).
Faran isn’t sure anything can beat Brain Age 2, and Natalie insists Super Mario Brothers is the only thing to play on DS, but this could get interesting:
Will girl gamers in the middle of nowhere suddenly be inspired to become trend spotters?

Yeah, I was wondering the Carrie Underwood commercial was about..interesting marketing idea.
It would've been great if they called it something like 'Street Fashionista' but I guess 'Pop Cutie' will appeal to the tween market as well.
Looks like it could be fun!
