Die of dysentery on the go
The classic game The Oregon Trail is coming to DSiWare according to a newly-revealed listing from the ESRB. Inspired by the historical migration itself, the game itself was conceived to teach children about pioneer life back in the mid-19th century.
You take the role of a pioneer leading his party on a migration route to the Pacific Northwest. On the way, you'll have to manage various hardships including wild animal attacks, robberies, hunting for sustenance, using precious buffalo chips for fuel, and recovering (or dying) from injuries and diseases.
Seeing as the game already has its E10+ rating, we'll probably be ready to ford the river quite soon!

Chuck Norris' family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back; and he always makes it to Oregon before you.
