Brain Training Honored at EIEF

Nintendo's Brain Training not only continues to sell across the globe, but the game has been receiving accolades as well. In Europe this week the popular DS software was honored at the Edinburgh Interactive Entertainment Festival.

Having already sold more than 3 million copies in Japan and over 4 million worldwide, Nintendo's Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day for the DS continues to impress. The sales pace in Europe in particular has been tremendous, where the game sold over 500,000 copies in just nine weeks (it took 16 weeks in Japan to reach 500K).

And it's in Europe that Nintendo's Brain Training (as they've labeled it there) has just put another feather in its cap. At the Edinburgh Interactive Entertainment Festival (EIEF) the game was bestowed the EIEF Edge Award, which is handed out by Edge magazine to a game that is truly creative and innovative.

Brain Training was voted number one from a list of just eight acclaimed titles, including Guitar Hero (PS2), Dragon Quest VIII (PS2), Electroplankton (DS), Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy here) (PC, PS2, Xbox), Amped 3 (Xbox 360), Ossu! Tatakae! Ouendan! (DS), and Killer 7 (GCN, PS2).
