Tesco cancels Devilish Brain Training pre-orders – “supplier no longer publishing the game”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
Brain Age: Concentration Training came out in Japan almost four years ago. In North America, the title arrived in 2013. But in Europe – where it was to be known as Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training – it has still yet to launch.
Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training has been continuously listed for Europe in Nintendo’s release schedules. However, there’s been no official word on when it will be distributed across PAL regions. Given that, perhaps this latest news shouldn’t come as a big surprise.
Tesco Direct has started cancelling pre-orders for Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training. Why, you ask? The retailer states in emails sent to consumers that this is due to “the supplier no longer publishing the game”.
Here’s the full email:

Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training was last planned for April 2013 in Europe. Nintendo ended up delaying it to “optimise the best possible launch timing of this title within the European market.”
