New Brain Training game for Switch announced in Japan
If you saw the announcement of Ring Fit Adventure earlier this month and were interested in training more than just your body, Nintendo’s got your back.
Nintendo announced a new Brain Training game for the Nintendo Switch today, with the game expected to launch in Japan on the 27th of December. The latest edition in a series of games based on the work of Japanese neuroscientist Ryuta Kawashima, Nintendo Switch’s Brain Training will use a host of the Switch’s unique features to serve up minigames designed to increase your memory and concentration skills.
It’s one of the few games to use the Joy-Con’s IR Camera — in this case, for detecting hand signs like rock, paper, scissors, and counting birds — and currently the only game announced to be taking advantage of the recently released alarm feature.
It’s currently unknown when or even if the title will make its way to the west, but every previous game has — even if we’ve had to wait 5 years for it in Australia — so we’d wager this one will too. We’ll be sure to keep you updated.
Wonderful news. 😀
I was afraid that this IP would become F2P/mobile fodder (so glad that it hasn’t!) so this has been a really pleasant surprise.
I hope we’ll continue to see more of Nintendo’s casual/handheld IP on Switch in future.
