Euro PSP Getting Brain Traning
October 4th, 2006 Posted in News
Ubisoft will be releasing a brain training game in Europe titled “Mind Games“, by Dr. Kawashima, the guy behind the hugely successful Brain Age games for the DS. Mind Games will test your reflexes, memory and calculation skills. It will also test your brain age, just like the Brain Age for DS, and support a multiplayer feature.
The original Mind Games title was developed by SEGA and released in Japan last year.

Looks like Sony is trying to cash in in some of the DS’s success. Copycat bitches!

Umm correction.. Dr. Kawashima, the creator of the DS’ “Brain Age,” LEFT nintendo to go join the psp team. How’d that happen? who knows? my guess is that he’s one amongst the many developers/game creators who are finally waking up to the capabilities of the PSP’s machinery.

Look Keil Joy anyone here can tell your the fanboy. Just telling the truth about Sony thats all. Come on now U honestly believe that Sony comes up with great original ideas for the PS2, PSP, PS3 or any other of their products.
“game creators who are finally waking up to the capabilities of the PSP’s machinery.” Sounds 2 me like ur one of those PSP fanboys who can’t stand the DS and its success.

Stop crying Keil Joy. None of us in HATE to Sony. It doesn’t work that way. But claiming someone is copying the other is kind of becoming a joke on this site because of “you know who”. That being said, Sony IS copycat bitches. Look at all 3 generations of Sony joypads. Not THAT I REALLY CARES, but you cant get around the topic here

” Sounds 2 me like ur one of those PSP fanboys who can’t stand the DS and its success. ”
PSP’s kick-ass holiday lineup:
‘Ace Combat X, Gunpey, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Jeanne d’Arc, Kingdom of Paradise 2, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Metal Slug Collection, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Valhalla Knights and Winning Eleven 2007.’
Please. Your lil’ DS is no threat pal.
” Look Keil Joy anyone here can tell your the fanboy. ”
Look it’s not like Sony sends me a check for this. all i’m doing is defending my console/brand of choice just like urself. However, Sony should offer me something- considering the way PSP fanboys are consistently under fire on this site; being forced into ‘verbal scrap’ mode every time i read a post bashing sony.
” That being said, Sony IS copycat bitches. ”
then i imagine you’re going to love this..

well, to be honest, Dr. Kawashima doesn’t really “create” video games. He’s the author of the books that inspired “Brain Age.” He provided imput. But he doesn’t actually bear the title of ‘video game developer.’ But i’m still glad he’s working with sony now. i’ve heard that Brain Age is a really good game.

LOL Keil Joy. I’ve already read it. Think it’s quite cool because it’s homemade, and I hope they pull it of. But anyway, if Brain Age games are coming to the PSP, then the gamers will have one more game to choose from. And that is just positive
“considering the way PSP fanboys are consistently under fire on this site; being forced into ‘verbal scrap’ mode every time i read a post bashing sony.”
I dont agree with you. I often thinks it’s the other way around

Dude I don’t really care if the PSP has a killer winter lineup. I really don’t give a damn! I bash everyone Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony it don’t matter. Keil Joy im glad U are gonna enjoy your PSP this winter. Personally I’m looking forward to Crisis Core.

The more systems that have Brain Age the better- It’s a really good game. ^_^

Actually Kawashima is a professor from a Japanese uni and has written books on Brain Training. In Japan he is really famous already. Nintendo just made a game based on his research first he isn’t anything to do with them so no reason he can’t do one for Sony too.
Though as usual Sony are second across the line like their amazing motion sensitive ps3 pad
Sony would be idiots not to want in on a craze which has sold millions of games worldwide already
Google ftw!

Man, Brain age without a touchscreen will suck

Brain age is not ábout IQ tests, as there are more different kinds of tests in the game. That being said, I think it’s OK to try out an IQ test, but people who join MENSA are a bunch of F…… idiots. I wouldn’t speak to them just because they are arrogant. Grow up suckers

Psp getting the brain age woun’t really help it in its sad sales. Ds has murdered the psp in sales 2 to 1 and almost 3 to 1. So who cares? Good for them
