Dr Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch

An effective update of the proven formula that we enjoyed many years ago. Anyone can enjoy it, although we expected a little more variety.

Brain Training for Nintendo Switch is undoubtedly the most substantial embodiment of Brain Training among those developed in that of Kyoto so far.

Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training for Nintendo Switch – besides being quite the mouthful – is a welcome return for the series and a great fit for the console. Sure it’s a rather predictable experience but it’s one that in spite of its few hiccups manages to challenge and entertain in equal measures.

This game is exactly what you'd expect: an hommage to the Nintendo DS classic with a few new features. Most of it is still great, but the infrared is technically lacking.

Solid brain-training with varying entertainment factor and small problems in terms of input recognition as well as online connectivity.

It's difficult to determine who Brain Training's audience is. The casual audience who would have happily bought a cheap DS for the original won't buy the far more expensive Switch, and existing Switch owners can find a slew of other brain games that may not be better, but are certainly cheaper. What's here is entertaining enough, but you're likely to have lost interest within a month; if ever there was a series that Nintendo should have turned into a mobile game instead, it's this one.

Regardless of what it may or may not do to your brain age, this is a disappointingly low effort remaster with serious technical issues and a lack of interesting content.

Es una forma de mantener en forma tu cerebro, con algunos ejercicios desafiantes, aunque hay veces que los números no los detecta bien.

Very polished with multiplayer and leaderboards to test your abilities against the world. I would not be surprised if some of the regulars at the top are bots, AI, superhuman or all three.

All my family play this game, my parents, my sister and me. I have the Nintendo DS version, and it is a original game of thinking and solving problems, a classic.

When it works it works when it doesn’t it’s extremely frustrating and there’s a massive issue with detecting 4s and 9s and occasionally 5s

Nice presentation but its very lacking. There are only three mini games to play in multiplayer and its mostly just counting boxes and birds, not very fun. The games relying on the IR camera are very poorly done, it picks up paper and rock very easily but scissors takes time and moving your fingers around until it decides to pick them up. When it comes to picking up numbers drawn, it seems to ignore the number nine, it'll think youve drawn a six or zero. I've tried drawning nine in every style i can think off and it refuses to accept its a nine.
