DS-X2 has some additional information on the forthcoming Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. The upcoming title aims to energize your mind through various minigames and improving your overall "brain age."
"When users start a new game, they will take a series of tests and get a score that shows how old their brains are. This number is called the "Brain Age." As they use the software over a series weeks and months, their mental acuity will improve and the Brain Age will drop, indicating a younger, healthier brain. Progress is charted in graph form."
Also included is a list of some of the minigames included in Brain Age. Such tasks charged to the player are memorizing words, quickly counting people in a crowd, and reading classical literature aloud as fast as possible.

That's the guy.
He poped up on the screen when I tried the demo at Nintendo World. I didn't know he was a real guy. Who the hell is he anyway, the Tokyo chaper president of Mensa?

Does that mean that if I play this game a lot, eventually I'll revert to babytalk and then my brain will eventually implode on itself until it's a single cell?
And if not, does reaching a negative brain age make time go backwards?
This just in: DS is actually a human shrinking time machine!!

Actually the ideal brain age in the game where your brain is sharpest is 20.

I played this demo at Nintendo World. It's suprisingly fun. I would pick it up if the price was low enough.
