Thinking back…
The history of Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training series can be traced back to 2006 – when Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? released on Nintendo DS in Europe. Some of you may have memories of this time! Its concept was inspired by the research and published works of Japanese neuroscientist Ryuta Kawashima. It became one of the most successful games on Nintendo DS, and has since had more entries in the series, with each one bringing new exercises.
It’s now time to think ahead with fresh challenges and ways to play with the unique features of Nintendo Switch!
*To play certain exercises on Nintendo Switch Lite, a Joy-Con pair is required and the Nintendo Switch adjustable charging stand is recommended.
