Nicole Kidman to be the face of new Nintendo ad campaign

DS News | Will Hollywood glamour give her a brain age of 82?

You may know her for roles in films such as Batman: Forever and Bewitched, or perhaps you just know her as the former wife of Tom Cruise (for the record, she's now married to Keith Urban). Regardless, Aussie Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman will apparently be the face of the More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old is Your Brain? ad campaign which Nintendo will use to invade television sets across Europe over the next few months or years - only just recently have the first Brain Training ads actually stopped in Australia.

The ad campaign is expected to start in the UK on ITV shortly and will see Nicole Kidman play More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old is Your Brain? and reveal her alleged before and after brain age. It is currently, unknown if we'll see the ad in Australia but given women around Australia idolise her while men want to... err... meet her, chances are fairly certain. More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old is Your Brain? will release in Australia and Europe next month.

Yeah I reckon it's a good ad for what Nintendo have always been trying to do with the Brain Age games.

Not bad, I wonder how much they had to pay her? Interesting idea for their marketing anyway.

It'll be effective at what it aim's to do, get the average person to buy the game.

i despise Nicole Kidman.
i mean, i really hate the hype she get, as i think she's f***ing awful as an actress, most of it stems from her voice, i really hate that breathless thing she always has going, and the point the kotaku site mentioned, her hybrid accent just grates.

i seriously hope we never get this on Au TV.

I always find myself agree with Obs. Kidman is far too crap of an actress and far too pretentious of a person for me to give a crap about her.

Oh yeah, have I said recently that I hate Nintendo's new direction?

I'm just indifferent to Nicole in terms of personality. I don't find her attractive at all though, not ugly just not appealing to me.

She's popular for some reason with the non gaming types. Hence why she's "perfect" for the part.

I personally prefer the Kerrin Perkins and his wife ads here for More Brain Training. Even though they can't say Kawashima right.
