Last week we reported about a new Brain Age/Brain Training title for the Nintendo Switch that will release this December in Japan and today the Big N broke the news about the game's Western localization! Titled Dr Kawashima's Brain Training (presumably for the European market as the news comes from Nintendo UK), this new entry will feature classic exercises which make use of the Switch's touchscreen and new exercises which use of the right Joy-Con’s IR Motion Camera. As with the Japanese version, the stylus is making a comeback and will be included with the packaged version from retail stores.



Some of the exercises announced by Nintendo include:
•Finger Calculations: Solve math problems using your fingers. Even if you know the answer in your head, you’ll need to react quickly!
•Rock, Paper, Scissors: Try to win – and lose – using your fingers in rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
•Word Scramble: Combine letters to form words.
•Photographic Memory: Remember the photo previously displayed.
•Dual Task: Leap over hurdles while choosing the biggest number.
Players will also be able to challenge friends and family, with one Joy-Con each, to select kinds of training, including:
•Birdwatching: Compete to count birds the fastest.
•Box Counting: Compete to try and remember the number of boxes.
There will also be online rankings and regular World Brain Training Championships planned.

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training is slated for a January 3rd, 2020 release.
