Attention! Brave brain training enthusiasts take on the Drill Sergeant in ‘Brain Cadets’
Rising Star Games announces its first ever WiiWare release that takes training your brain to another level
Thursday 28th January: Brain Cadets, one of the most entertaining brain training games for Wii, will be available to download for 1,000 Wii Points from Friday 5th February, courtesy of Rising Star Games.
Brain Cadets challenges gamers to complete a number of tests under the watchful eye of the toughest Drill Sergeant around, in the race to progress from lowly Private up to the prestigious roll of Field Marshall.
On January 28, 2009 (Japan time), Nintendo Co., Ltd. reported financial results for the first three fiscal quarters and earnings for the period ending Dec. 31, 2009, and left unchanged prior forecasts for full year global sales and profits.
The nine month figures for net sales, operating income, ordinary income, and net income represented the third best corresponding performances in company history, but they all saw a decline from the results of the prior year. The net sales and operating income declines in comparison to the record-breaking previous year primarily stem from year-on-year decreases in Wii hardware and Nintendo DS software sales, a price cut for Wii hardware, and the significant impact of a stronger yen.

Adding in a character like Phoenix Wright to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars did not seem possible originally. However, it looks like there is a chance of it happening after all. Ryota Niitsuma, the producer of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, told Destructoid that the finger-pointing lawyer, in addition to Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution, could make it into the game through downloadable content. According to Niitsuma, Nintendo would need to approve any DLC.
Don’t get too excited yet, though. Over on the Capcom-Unity forums, Senior Manager of Community Seth Killian indicated that there currently are no plans to release additional fighters. He did acknowledge, however, that “it is technically possible.”
“To answer the question, it has a lot to do with Nintendo, but it is technically possible. It is not something we’re planning at the moment, however.”
