Not only are they going the Tiffany route with a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://wii.nintendo.com/malltour_07.jsp">50-city mall tour</a>, now they've deployed Brain Age 2 to a Nelson J Salon in Beverly Hills, where I assume they've also provide someone to play the game for the customers as they get their hair done. They'll have booths set up at Alzheimer's Association Memory walks in Chicago, Austin, New York, Washington, and Los Angeles as well. You guys really need to start buying the game before...oh crap, it's too late. They've unleashed the Nintendo Street Team. Oh good, they're only going to the Long Island Fall Home Show this weekend and...the Atlanta Home Show. That's here, this weekend! See what you've done? Why didn't you buy it? Hit the jump to survey the pain you've caused. </p><blockquote><strong>NINTENDO'S POPULAR BRAIN AGE 2 POPS UP IN UNLIKELY PLACES</strong> <p>People Everywhere Find the Brain-Training Game Engaging</p> <p>REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 27, 2007 - Hair salons, RV shows and shopping malls might not be the first places you think of when it's time to exercise your brain.
