The Singers were also awarded a trophy and prize pack featuring the hot Wii™ system and a copy of the new Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree. The game brings Nintendo's successful Nintendo DS™ brain-training series to Wii for the first time.
"I asked my son to come to New York with me for Father's Day, but he said he'd only come if we could go to the Nintendo World store," said Rick Singer. "We entered the Father's Day Challenge to have fun, and had no expectations of winning. This was certainly a memorable experience."
