Nintendo on the hunt for Brits with brains

Nintendo's latest ~~marketing campaign~~ contest across the pond has British families tossing their hats into the ring to see who's the best collective unit at Big Brain Academy. Families only need to report to one of these locations on the date listed, get up on stage and take their turn. Those who perform the best will then head on to the next stage of the contest, hoping to win university tuition, Wii consoles and 7-day holiday trips.

Are you and your family going to participate?
