Wii U eShop

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! is due out tomorrow on the Wii U eShop as the newest Virtual Console download. It’ll set you back $6.99.

Here’s an overview of the title:

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is a fun, rewarding form of entertainment everyone can enjoy, as it helps players flex their mental muscles. Brain Age is inspired by the research of Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist. His studies evaluated the impact of performing certain reading and mathematic exercises to help stimulate the brain.

Brain Age presents quick mental activities that help keep your mind in shape. Activities include quickly solving simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house simultaneously, drawing pictures on the Touch Screen, reading classic literature out loud, sudoku and more!

There are other Virtual Console releases tomorrow, but they’ll be on New 3DS. Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Metroid, and Zelda: A Link to the Past are all slated for the handheld tomorrow.

EnjoyUp Games and Pixel Bones Studio are partnering on a new game for the Wii U eShop. The two companies will be bringing us Run Run and Die, “an atypical, mad-capped runner game in which you must escape from a hell-like complex through 24 levels filled with spikes, bombs, robots and impossible jumps.”

Here’s an overview:

You are a penguin that has woken up in a dark laboratory. How did you get there? Who is behind all of this? You only remember one thing… Red is death… but don’t worry, dying is fun.

Are you ready to die again and again… and again in Run Run and Die?

Features:
– Very easy controls. Simply press a button or use the touch screen.
– 24 wicked levels filled with traps that will put your skills to the test.
– Some levels are a tribute to old gaming consoles.
– Comic book-style illustrations will tell the story between levels.

You’ll find some screenshots of Run Run and Die in the gallery below.
