Brain Storm with Brain Age 2

Shake off those hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer and gear up for fall. Nintendo has announced the release of its new title, Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day. Brain Age 2 launches today exclusively for the DS. For those just getting into the Nintendo DS portable game system, Brain Age 2 will also be available bundled with a special DS lite outfitted in the first new color scheme for North America in almost a year.

Brain Age got people of all ages doing simple, fun exercises daily to improve their brain health. Studies have shown that while this is great for you, your brain needs new stimulus to continue to develop.

“The point of the original Brain Age was to jolt users’ brains out of complacency by challenging them with a variety of fun activities,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day expands the benefit and gives you mental tests you’ve never tried before.”

Brain Age 2 offers new features to keep your brain in peak performance condition.

• winning (or intentionally losing) at rock, paper, scissors
• repeated subtraction of a small number from a larger one
• quickly making change
• unscrambling letters to form a word
• playing notes on a virtual piano keyboard

Brain Age 2 has also added over 100 new sudoku puzzles and ways for users to compete against friends and family members.
