Brain Age will be priced to move

When Nintendo announced that Brain Age and Big Brain Academy would be released in the US later this year, many Joystiq readers were hesitant to call this move another success for the DS. Citing the differences in culture, GlitchCog opined that "the average American over 45 years old won't buy this because in their eyes video games are rotting the minds of the youth."

Nintendo will have a hard time selling educational software, but if Nintendogs is any indication, they are up for the challenge. In what is likely an effort to alleviate some of that hesitation, Nintendo will be releasing the Brain training titles at the bargain price of $20. If they can convince adults that $150 (DS console Brain Age) is a good deal, mark this up as another successful venture for the House of Mario. If not? Well, it's not like the DS has been hurting for sales lately...
