You've played Nintendo games. Now get ready for a Nintendo television show, as the Japanese gaming giant have bought themselves a British gaming show.

And that show is called "Britain's Best Brain". While Nintendo won't be allowed to advertise directly on the show (thanks to British regulations), they'll be its principle sponsors, and the events on the program correspond neatly with those of Nintendo's more popular DS titles: memory, co-ordination, numeracy, recognition and risk.

So no, sadly, no Mario Kart cup races or Zelda speedruns.
