"Demon Training" is coming to North America this year.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/31476

Brain Age: Concentration Training, the latest entry in the popular Brain Age series, is coming to 3DS in North America on December 3.

The game came out in Japan in late July under the name Touhoku Daigaku Kareiigakukenkyuujo Kawashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu Monosugoku Nou o Kitareru 5 Funkan no Oni Training. It features a demon version of Dr. Kawashima, and a lot of exercises that work the memory.

Check out our impressions for more info.

So, shall we speculate as to whether they will be removing the "demon" aspect for tender North American religious sensibilities?

I really hope that Nintendo allows people to GIFT e-shop games. The Wii does it, but 3DS does not?


I would easily download this and a copy for my fiancé, for christmas but the cartridges are not something she really likes switching out and neither do I. And having a receipt from gamestop with a code on it its not a good idea to execute.


Oh yeah any word if this was decent price? $20 is the sweet spot, anything more is just asking too much

It's a discount game in Japan, so I hope it is here too.

It's interesting that they're marketing this as concentration training when it's working memory that's the focus of this game.

One thing I've noticed when I'm doing the Oni Training parts is that Dr. Kawashima always, ALWAYS stresses that you really need to concentrate in order to do better. It kinda makes sense.


The Japanese game has a voice over for Dr. Kawashima most of the time (I'm assuming it's actually the good doctor's voice). I wonder what it'll be like in English.
