Nintendo Your Way into College

by Forest

Nintendo continues to come out with unique gaming options. In fact, they seems intent on breaking all the preconceptions associated with video games. (We suppose they’ve been reading all the data about the growing casual game market.)

First, the Wii (and subsequent Wii Fit) proved that you could work out more than your thumbs playing video games. Then Wii Music let you compose your own music with more than 60 instruments.

Now, Nintendo is gearing up to offer FutureU, an SAT prep game created by Kaplan, brushing aside those who would claim video games to be nothing more than mindless indulgence. Now it’ll be easier to make your parents believe you’re studying while you beat Mario!
