Toys R Us has put out their list of the top 24 hottest toys for this summer, and, surprisingly, there is only one video game on the list-- and even that one's kind of a non-game, according to some people's definitions. Nintendo's brain-teasin' hit Brain Age represents the entirety of our hobby in Toys R Us's summer marketing campaign, despite being a game about math problems, and despite being over a year old. Technically, they also advertise the Leapster, but ... don't worry about the Leapster..
Are we seeing early signs of a Japan-style Brain Age phenomenon? Should we start hoarding DS Lites?

Dr. Kawashima should be on one of the menu screens in Brawl. Or he could be in a special mode like Break the Targets but you have to hit the blue one, while counting how many coins there are on screen, and rubbing your belly.

The leapster is so amazing. I used to love doing those weird edugames on it and such.
