We don’t have a name yet, but here’s what we know about Dr. Kawashima’s new brain training title for 3DS thus far. The information comes from the latest Nintendo Direct.
– Focuses on training your concentration and your working memory
– Working memory refers to the system where information that enters the brain is held temporarily as it is manipulated and used
– Big difference in the way these are trained compared to the past titles
– High level of concentration will be needed in these games
– Called “Oni-Tore” exercises
– Kawashima will take on the appearance of a demon in the game
– Concentrate on this training for at least 5 minutes a day to see results
– Difficulty changes based on the player’s ability
– Recommended for those who want to keep their brain young and younger people who are working hard/studying
– Releasing this summer in Japan
