Nintendo fanboys are now officially in love with Nicole Kidman. Starting last night, she began appearing in TV ads for the sequel to Nintendo's incredibly popular DS game, Brain Age.

Kidman on the Brain Age series:

"I love the concept that Nintendo is reaching out to new audiences with its self-improvement products like Brain Training. Most importantly, I've quickly found that training my brain is a great way to keep my mind feeling young."

Interestingly enough, this campaign is being launched only in Europe with no announced plans to bring it across the pond. One would imagine that Nicole Kidman could move some products here in the United States, but maybe I'm just partial to her saying the word "paper."

Brain Age 2 launches in Europe on June 29 and here in the United States on August 20.

Isn't this the sort of thing TC used to get her hooked up to for "auditing" at Scientology? Maybe COS will buy Nintendo (they've got enough money) and come out with Nintendo COS, or Nintendo Engram.
