Big Brain Academy and Polarium Added to Virtual Console Tomorrow

Two new games will join the Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow when Nintendo’s North American download hits.

The first title is Polarium Advance, the Game Boy Advance sequel to the Nintendo DS puzzle game Polarium. That game came to to the GBA in North America back in 2006. In the game you have to clear the lines in a single stroke! Create horizontal rows of the same color to clear the board. There are 365 puzzles, with many modes and special titles that will challenge your mind. You can play against the clock, or create your very own puzzles

The second game on the Wii U Virtual Console Thursday is another Nintendo puzzle game, Big Brain Academy from the Nintendo DS. The 2006 game puts your mind to the test, bringing fresh entertainment anyone young and young at heart can enjoy. It’s the perfect way to challenge and stimulate your mind. Test your mental acuity in a five-category quiz: thinking, memorization, computation, analysis, and identification.

Both games will retail in the eShop for $6.99 USD.
