CITY Issue 51

ACTION TECH: NINTENDO DS Brain Games Nintendo has shipped over 40 million DS consoles in nearly three years, and while that might conjure images of a legion of teenagers with aching digits, it’s actually not the whole story. Thanks to Brain Age, a mental exercise compilation game featuring graphic, mathematical, and sudoku challenges—itself moving over 8 million copies—the handheld console has been heartily embraced by the female and “older gamer” demographic. Expanding on that success, Nintendo has unleashed “Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day,” with 15 new “mental workouts” and an online component to calculate your brain’s, um, age. It’s perfect for both your short- and long-haul flights—far away from the terrors of an in-flight Michael Bay movie. —HAMISH ROBERTSON Go to www.nintendods.com LAS VEGAS: MISS SIXTY/ENERGIE STORE At Least 60 Reasons To Shop Las Vegas may be the city where “What happens here, stays here,” but that doesn’t mean what you buy in Sin City can’t come home in your suitcase. Sixty USA just opened its first-ever Miss Sixty/Energie store in Vegas, and the high rollers and partyhoppers are already crooning over fashion seemingly created for the city’s sexy nightlife. Co-designed by Studio 63, Kenneth Park Architects, and the Sixty Group Interior Design team, the 2,585-square-foot space feels right at home in The Forum Shops at Caesars, where both a modern luxury and vintage details find equal footing. This is one of the first locations to showcase the new store design concept for Miss Sixty/Energie; New York will get the treatment next, with a new, two-story flagship at 901 Broadway, just north of Union Square, opening this fall.

Take a Seat Affordable, flexible, multi-use: the only thing off about Dakota Jackson’s new “Scatter” chair might be its name—a deal this good is more likely to send home-décor doyens flocking to showrooms, rather than scattering. The chair ($450) is the first piece of furniture that the celebrated (and typically to-trade-only) designer has released to the public, and the first chance for many to take home a piece on par with Jackson’s famous Library Chair. Created for a wide variety of uses, the chair is versatile enough for the home or the office, and comes in six bold colors to match your personal palette.
