Father-Son day at Nintendo World Store - Image 1 


A lot of families celebrate Father's Day in different ways. Regardless of what people do, it's a given that people celebrate and bond with a person that they hold dear, their father. For father and son gamers, what better way to spend the day together than playing a couple video games?

Apparently, Nintendo feels the same way and held a father and son event at the Nintendo World store in New York. This event called "Biggest Brain" had 30 contestants playing Big Brain Acadamy: Wii Degree in a bracket-style playoff format. The champions for the contest Rick and Michael Singer, walked away with a "hot Wii."

Interestingly enough, Rick Singer gave word that they just happened to be there. He said, "I asked my son to come to New York with me for Father's Day, but he said he'd only come if we could go to the Nintendo World store." They're probably both glad that they stopped by.

Dad and Nintendo - Image 1DS and Wii owners, your attention please. Just in time for Father's Day, Nintendo has a few suggestions on what to give dad on his day. You may want to take down notes because dad may be sick and tired of receiving the same old tie, or the same old shirt. To get your brain juices running in thinking up of a nice gift, here are some suggestions to chew on:

Brain Age: Train your Brain in Minutes a Day: Your father may find this Nintendo DS gem quite useful in avoiding memory gaps. He may also thank Brain Age for making his brain sharp enough that nobody's going to one-up him at work. That goes for you too, unfortunately.

Wii Remote: Your dad may love getting his own Wii Remote. Personalize it, heck, paste a cheesy sticker that says "DAD" in big letters on his Wiimote.

Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree: You can take the Father's Day challenge together at Nintendo World New York, from 1 to 5 P.M. on June 16. You may want to get this chance to bond with your dad.

Software discounts: Just in case he's hankering for some games on his Nintendo Wii or DS, it'll do him some good to make a short trip to Nintendo store, if you happen to be living in that area. He may even buy you that Wii or DS game that you've always wanted.

Virtual Console: We all know that our parents were kids too. With that in mind, you dad may become sentimental when he gets the chance to play games that he has known and loved in his days. If you have a Wii, what could be better than getting games from the Virtual Console? It's not a bad deal considering that the prices start at, 500 Wii Points; it may also put him in such a good mood he'll let you drive his car on Saturday night.
