Brain Age for DS is [NOT] Discriminatory ([NOR] Broken!)

UPDATE (4/17/06): According to the comment by my good buddy Zimran below, this entire post is wrong. At least it's nice to find out that us lefties can enjoy useless handheld diversions as much as the next guy!

In today's Wall Street Journal, Walt Mossberg writes about a new game for the Nintendo DS called "Brain Age." The point of this game is to give you brain teasers to work on every day in order to "lower the age of your brain." Basically, a daily workout for your gray matter.

Sounds interesting. Plays to both my love of brain teasers and fear of losing my mind....Big problem, however, is that after looking at the picture accompanying the article, I've come to the conclusion that this particular game is unusable for people like me.

Why? Because I'm left-handed.

Take a look and let me know how I'm supposed to play this thing.

Does anyone know if this game comes with a configuration option to flip the whole thing over?

If not, then This is Broken.

I'm 100% certain that this game (but not really a game) will work for left-handed people like us.

I think they will have a way, cause look at Metroid Hunters, they have it for both sides (right and left handed)

Yup -- it will work for left handed folks. They ask if you are left handed, and if you are, you can flip the DS over.
