Brain Games
Pretty soon you will be able to work those mental muscles with the release of the oddly titled Big Brain Academy and Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. Due for release in North America this summer both games are based on the work of Japanese neuroscientist Professor Ryuta Kawashima and have been very popular in Japan.
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day is released on April 17 and offers the player a range of fun mental tasks including memory, reading, mathematical and sudoku puzzles. Full use is made of the DS’s touch screen with players writing their answers PDA style.
Big Brain Academy is released on May 30 and runs along a similar theme. Each task takes about a minute to complete and up to 8 players can play along with a single cart.
