SonicTeam's next DS game

Check out the upper right-hand corner of the SonicTeam website. You may notice a new mini-banner there for an upcoming DS title. It's called Brain Age and Stress Meter: Atama Scan. From what I've looked over, it seems to be ST's way of jumping aboard the brain training bandwagon. The game will be released in Japan on September 14 for 2,800 yen. I would look more into the game now, but I've got a plane to catch a little later this morning, so I need to try to get at least an hour or two of sleep before then.

This brain training thing got old pretty fast. I wonder how much new content they can bring to the formula.

I wonder how much it will matter since these type of games are selling like gangbusters in Japan and has had some success in the West. XD

Sega's last Brain Training-like game Brain Trainer Portable for the PSP moved close to 300,000 units and is one of the top selling PSP games in Japan.

Boy I am so glad we're getting another Brain Training rip off instead of Sonic Rush 2!

That or ChuÃ‚Â² DS, which would make the most sense out of anything for the handheld period.

Oh, I forgot, Brain Training -- I mean, Brain Age... whatever. Not much to say about it other than it resembling Brain Training. At least something is coming out of SONICTEAM other than another Sonic game.

Yeah, a Wi-Fi Chu Chu with two screens and a touch pad to place the arrows would rock. I wouldn't buy it cause I don't have a DS, but it would still rock.

Damn...wait there was a Chu Chu Rocket released for the GBA, right?

The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain? Man, I still have that, I don't know if it'll work on this computer... I'm pretty sure I tried to install it at one point and the installer didn't work. That was a fun game, though some parts were a bit tedious. Also that mouse's comments were pretty annoying in some of the sections. Haha, I remember when I got to Dreamland and thought it was great that I didn't have to listen to the mouse, only to find that - what's her name, Dr. Brain's - daughter? niece? younger female relative - made just as annoying comments.

I've installed it on an XP computer. It works fine. We also have Time Warp of Dr. Brain (which I quite enjoyed as well), and then some weird Knowledge Adventure-made Dr. Brain games with a young and hip Dr. Brain. Actually, one's a first-person puzzler using UnrealEngine and it's not too shabby. Action Reaction... worth a look into if you find it for cheap.

As for the EARLIER games, I believe we have them but have no idea where to look.

Fracas, fracas, FRA-CAS!
That's what he said in the music area, right? With the germanish accent?

*grimace* I think the Shakespearean one was the worst, though.

I kinda liked his voice in that filing cabinet one. Sure, it was monotone and somewhat dull, but not particularly annoying or anything.

BTW, if you wanted to see the "new" Dr. Brain (or order Action Reaction for the low, low price of $20), <a href="http://shop.knowledgeadventure.com/serv ... v=BASE">do so here</a>.

While on a subject with a similar name, Pinky and the Brain just got released on DVD. You must buy it RIGHT NOW!

Well I only have a demo and it worked fine in Windows 95...too bad I couldnt get the game...

I also never got the first "War Wind" so I keep and keep playing the demo for 3 years..

Too bad War Wind 2 sucked a lot and that killed the saga...
