[10 August 2006 - Gamasutra] DS handheld creator Nintendo has announced that its Touch Generations-branded DS title, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes has now sold more than four million units worldwide, including 600,000 in the Americas, three million in Japan and 500,000 in Europe. Brain Age is based on the research of Professor Ryuta Kawashima of Tohoku University in Japan, a neuroscientist who specializes in brain imaging. The game, which takes advantage of the various unique capabilities afforded by the Nintendo DS hardware, is purported to stimulate brain activity through a series of brain "exercises" ranging from simple arithmetic to reading aloud and counting syllables.
