Item Description
Nothing else on store shelves looked like Brain Age when it reached North America in 2006. There was no hero and no high score in the usual sense, you held the DS sideways like a paperback, and your guide was the floating, polygonal head of Japanese neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima. The goal was simple and strangely compelling: bring your “brain age” down toward the ideal of 20 with a few minutes of exercises a day.
The Brain Age Check is the moment of truth. The Stroop Test flashes color names printed in the wrong ink and asks you to say the color of the ink out loud through the microphone, which is far harder than it sounds and endlessly funny to watch someone else attempt. Daily training builds on it with rapid-fire Calculations drills in 20- and 100-problem sets, Reading Aloud passages, Syllable Count, and Head Count, where you track how many people are left inside a house as figures dart in and out. You write answers directly on the touch screen, and the game graphs your progress and stamps a calendar for every day you train.
Beyond the exercises, the North American release folds in a generous selection of Sudoku puzzles playable entirely with the stylus, which many owners ended up treating as a game in its own right. Everything is designed for short sessions, which is exactly why so many players kept the cartridge in their DS for months.
Brain Age became one of the best-selling games on the Nintendo DS and a cornerstone of Nintendo's Touch Generations line, the push that put DS systems into the hands of parents, grandparents and commuters who had never owned a game console. It started the brain-training boom that sequels and imitators chased for years. Playing it now captures the DS at its most adventurous, when a math drill and a talking doctor's head could outsell action games.
