Rumor: Nintendo To Get Educational With Wii Play 'N Learn

By Chris Kohler October 08, 2007 | 2:14:17 PM

Is Nintendo planning an educational Wii package aimed at younger players? The blog Codename Revolution dug up a UPC code for a new Nintendo of America product that its anonymous retail source says is a new Wii console SKU.

Wired News looked up the code on a UPC database and found that the data attached to it has been modified just today. The product name is Wii Play 'n Learn.

Perhaps some signals have been crossed and this product is an educational game. Or maybe it will indeed be bundled with Wii hardware in an attempt to bring in parents buying Wii as an early-learning device.

UPDATE: Or maybe, as a couple people have suggested on GAF, they're bundling existing games with thc console, like Big Brain Academy or Wii Play. That also sounds possible.

Wired News has requested comment from Nintendo.
