Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima Download PC

Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima (川島教授の全脳トレ "Kawashima Kyoju no Zen Noh Tore", "Professor Kawashima's Full Brain Training") is a brain training game developed by Namco Bandai and tested by Dr. Kawashima, known for his Nintendo DS games Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! and Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day!.

Gameplay

The game is structured around a set of 15 minigames which are used in the different game modes.

After selecting a profile (there are 3 slots for different users) a cel-shaded 3D Dr. Kawashima will accompany the player when browsing the menus and will explain the minigames. After playing each minigame in any of the game modes, player's performance is rated via a ranking of items found in nature, which includes creatures such as plankton, a whale or a giraffe.

All the statistics of each player are kept in his/her profile; the game offers the possibility of uploading this data so it's available both on both the official website and Facebook.

Development

The game was originally developed in Japan for i-mode devices, with the name 川島教授の全脳トレ (Kawashima Kyoju no Zen Noh Tore, Professor Kawashima's Full Brain Training). Today there are already 11 games available for i-mode phones in Japan, plus an arcade machine with printable cards and online high scores.

In 2007, the European branch of the Namco Bandai mobile division released the Java ME version, Brain Coach with Dr. Kawashima, with a selection of 10 minigames from the Japanese games and localized names per country. In 2008, the sequel More Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima was released, with 15 new minigames, hi-score upload to Facebook and Sudoku.
