My Hero: Doctor

In My Hero: Doctor, players take on the role of a doctor's apprentice as they manage 10 major medical emergencies by utilizing the microphone and stylus as an all-in-one medical tool. Players will treat and cure patients by using real medical equipment to help scan for fractures, inject medication, and apply a defibrillator. By successfully maneuvering the ambulance around obstacles on their way to helping people in need, players unlock upgrades and earn awards which help them progress in their medical career. With enough heart, stamina and skill, they can reach the Hall of Fame as the town's best doctor.

My Hero: Firefighter

In My Hero: Firefighter, players move up the ranks to Captain by putting out raging fires and courageously saving people and animals through 13 hazardous missions. The Nintendo DS stylus transforms into a hose, axe and extendable ladder as players safely drive fire engines through crowded city streets and react instantaneously to house fires, chemical explosions and forest fires. Players can also upgrade trucks and equipment through play as they learn real fire safety and survival tips.
