There's something unsettling about the way Nintendo's Otona no DS Kao Training commercials highlight the faces of their subjects to point out improvable areas. Maybe it's that the red tint, stained over their mouths and eyelids, resembles the exaggerated, sloppy make-up we've come to associate with sinister clowns. Or perhaps it's the way their faces remain dead still while the layers are applied, save for the occasional blinking eyes, moments away from transforming into one of those screaming spectres that often haunt flash movies.
Imagine how creepy this scene would be: You're using the DS camera with Adults' DS Face Training, doing your daily exercises, when suddenly, you realize that the face on the touchscreen staring back at you isn't your own. Instead, you see a sickly-looking girl, completely soaked as if she'd just drowned. Before you can ask her what's happening, the lights in your room flicker off. You can hear the wet coughs of her laughter twisting out of her throat and your handheld's tinny speakers as the door behind you creaks open.
If you're not already hiding under a blanket, make sure to peek past the post break for the commercials.
