Sega jumps on the brain-train wagon

Brain Assist on DS features a variety of ways to test mental ability
Sega is leaping on the brain-train wagon with Brain Assist, a DS game "filled with a variety of ways to test mental ability".

Apparently, it's derived from Touch de Uno!, which we're reliably informed is a classic Japanese arcade game.

Anyway, the idea is that through a series of fun challenges that test your memory, concentration, reflexes, deduction and analytical abilities, your, er, memory, concentration, reflexes, deduction and analytical abilities will be improved.

And we're additionally reliably informed there are nurses in the game that offer you assistance and guidance - "Oh yes, that's it. Put your stylus there. Just there. Faster! Faster!"...

The ultimate challenge is the Lightning Round, "where the pace and difficulty of gameplay becomes even more challenging" Sega explains.

It adds, "Brain Assist takes full advantage of the Nintendo DS Touch Screen technology and allows for an addictive interactive gameplay experience in either two-player co-op mode or fast-paced competitions for up to four players via the Nintendo DS Wireless Connection".

Brain Assist is out spring 2008.

Darn it Sega! Don't jump on the bandwagon bring me a new Fighting Vipers instead Razz and a Saturn 2 with AMD CPU and ATI video Razz and HD DVD drive. Oh, oh, and the VMU and motion controls like six axis but properly done (Yes I said it!).

Please Very Happy

I want a proper controler with no gimmicks

Seriously though how many more brain training things can be released? The markets going to stagnate soon
& Shame on you Sega for jumping on the wagon, Shame on you!
