What is Brain Assist?
Brain Assist is very cool little DS title derived from the Japanese arcade touch game “Touch de Uno!”. The games are designed to challenge players in various areas of memory, deduction, concentration, and reflexes. When gamers complete each game, they’ll learn about how well they performed as well as how to fine-tune their reflexes.

What makes Brain Assist different from other “brain training” games?
Brain Assist takes a little different take on “brain training” games where we focus on the right brain functions. Right brain functions can be summarized as more of the “creative and artistic” side of the brain that demonstrates more intuitive and reflexive thinking. More importantly, Brain Assist is a nice mix of “brain training” with a lot of fun. Just watch out for the evil nurses.

What are some of the most challenging games in Brain Assist?
Personally, the absolutely most challenging game is Touch of Brilliance where you have to follow the flashing dots and pick their last location - in the later stages, the dots flash so quickly the eye can barely follow them. Match Game can become very difficult in later stages as the images become more visually complex. Speeding Numbers can also be difficult once players get to the point where they have to recognize numbers going at Mach 2 speeds across the screen.

Will there be a version other than the Nintendo DS version?
There are currently no plans to bring Brain Assist to any other platform other than the DS and quite frankly, because of the touch nature of the game, the DS is the ultimate platform for this title.

Does the game support multiplayer?
Brain Assist supports numerous multiplayer options including head-to-head competitive play for the highest score - it’s definitely a lot more fun to play with more people.

A rather unique feature tied to multiplayer is the “Compatibility Check”; when playing a 2-player game, Brain Assist can compare/contrast the different “right brain” aptitudes of each player in a rather humorous manner. And by no means does this “Compatibility Check” make speed dating any faster.
