Namco Bandai has announced a new game, titled 99 no Namida, with the sole intention of making you cry.
Yes, you read that right, the game wants to make you cry because according to research from Waseda University, people feel better after crying. Don’t expect a local release anytime soon though, this looks like one of those games which will be Japan only.

In the wake of the success of Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training, and its sequel, More Brain Training on the DS, Namco Bandai has announced that they’re currently developing a new game for mobile phones with the good doctor’s help.
Reported to be adhering to the established DS style of daily training, the new grey matter testing title was “scientifically tested at a leading university in Japan,” and is set to be released before the end of the year there.
Masaji Okubo, MD of Namco Bandai, commented that “the formula of this application has already proven successful by establishing a base of millions of Nintendo DS players worldwide, and with Dr Kawashima’s approval we are pleased to bring this official mobile game to the larger mass of mobile phone users.
“Players are now presented a new and scientifically proven series of fun brain training challenges that actually help activate different parts of the brain.”
None of the minigames featured in the new title were mentioned, however, and no release outside of Japan has been announced.
