The US and Canada will see a new DS Lite on August 21, which will come bundled with the second installment in the popular Brain Age franchise for Nintendo’s platform.
The top half of the new Nintendo DS sports a smooth, glossy Crimson, reminiscent of a dangerous shade of lipstick or a cherry-red sports car. The bottom is a matte black – an Onyx yin that complements the Crimson yang.
The new DS marks the first design overhaul of the popular gaming platform in more than a year for the US territory, and to spice things up Nintendo pre-loaded the Brain Age 2: More Training Minutes per Day with the shiny new handheld. All this will be available on August 21 for an MSRP of $149.99.
Inspired by the work of prominent Japanese neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, Brain Age features activities designed to help stimulate your brain and give it the workout it needs like solving simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house simultaneously, drawing pictures on the Nintendo DS touch screen, and reading classic literature out loud.
The first time you play Brain Age, you'll take a series of tests and get a score that determines your DS brain age. Brain Age tracks your progression with easy-to-read line charts so you always know how well you're doing. By using Brain Age just minutes a day, the better you'll get at the exercises and the lower your DS Brain Age will become.
The original Brain Age: Train Your Brain In Minutes A Day has sold 8.61 million worldwide, including more than 1.4 million in the United States alone, while its sequel has already posted sales of 5.33 million in Japan.
