Bartender DS Delivers Alcoholic Brain Training

Some nongames would flop in America. I’d actually bet that most of them would. Still, I would love to see a few of them make their way to American shores. One of those is EA’s Bartender DS. This piece of software helps would-be mixologists prepare the perfect cocktail for that relaxing evening with your friends.

This collection is so packed with alcoholic knowledge that it could even teach an Irish man a thing or two (really, even me). Each of the 850 cocktails has a complete recipe, tips for properly mixing the drink, and notes on its history and creation. You can search the database by ingredient or the glass that it should be pored in (not everything belongs in a shotglass).

Alas, it looks like this will be a Japan-only release for now. Until then, I’ll just have to stick with the Periodic Table of Mixology.
