Sega is trying to tap into the wave of brain-training games on the Nintendo DS, announcing today that the company will publish Brain Assist for the DS sometime during the spring of 2008.
Brain Assist will include 10 mini-games that focus on strengthening the right hemisphere of the brain by challenging the player’s memory, concentration, reflexes, deduction and analytical abilities. Each game quickly ramps up in difficulty, demanding that players think fast to maximize their memorization and response times. The game will also include a Lightning Round in which the pace and difficulty become even more challenging.
Brain Assist will of course take full advantage of the Nintendo DS’ Touch Screen technology. It will also support two-player co-op play and competitions for up to four players via the Nintendo DS Wireless Connection.
