Nintendo gave away copies of their upcoming Brain Age following Satoru Iwata’s keynote address at the Game Developers Conference on Thursday. The picture to the left is the note that was attached to the giveaway copies.
Brain Age is a game that trains your brain in “Minutes a Day”. It helps flex your mental muscle in a fun sort of way. You take a series of tests to see what your DS Brain Age is and through assigned brain exercises hopefully to lower your brain age.
The game has quick solving simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house simultaneously, drawing pictures on the Touch Screen, reading classic literature out loud, and more.
At the conference they invited 5 people to participate in a demo of the game. Jamil Moledina, director of GDC; Geoff Keighley, from G4TV; Will Wright and a Nintendo guy. These where the final scores, keeping in mind you want a low score.
