This fall Nippon Ichi will publish their third Nintendo DS game in Japan, but it isn’t a brand new series. They teamed up with Hamster, notable for the Oretachi Game Center arcade ports, to release an installment of the Conveni series on the DS. The Conveni titles are simulation games where players manage a convenience store. The Conveni DS: Otona no Keiei Ryoku Training (The Conveni DS: Adult's Management Power Training) will be the first entry in the Conveni series on a Nintendo platform.
Notice the title? Nippon Ichi chose to associate the Conveni series with the smorgasbord of training software on the Nintendo DS, an obvious attempt to capture the growing market of DS owners looking for digital self improvement.

Oh, and keep the damned lids stocked, will ya? […]
