Majesco Jumps on Brain Training Bandwagon
« on: September 21, 2006, 09:26:13 PM »
Two new DS games coming in November.

BOOST YOUR BRAIN POWER!    


MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES TWO NEW BRAIN STIMULATION GAMES    


   Dr. Makoto Shichida's 'Right Brain Development Theory' Foundation for 'Brain Boost: Beta Wave' and 'Brain Boost: Gamma Wave'    


     


Edison, N.J., September 21st, 2006 - Want to improve your basic thinking  skills and cognitive reaction time?  Then Majesco Entertainment Company  (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of digital entertainment products  and content, may have the two perfect games for you:  Brain Boost: Beta  Wave and Brain Boost: Gamma Wave.  Both Brain Boost games are being  developed under the consultation of renowned researcher and author, Dr.  Makoto Shichida, creator of the Right Brain Development Theory.    


     


"Each Brain Boost game offers a completely different set of fun, yet  challenging, brain training problems that are designed to enhance your  mental acuity," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing, Majesco  Entertainment.  "We believe a growing number of consumers are looking  for more diversified game play experiences and the Brain Boost games  will help attract a new audience to the category."    


     


Both games focus on improving memory, concentration and judgment through  progressively difficult brain training games where speed and accuracy  count.  Brain Boost: Beta Wave focuses on stimulating parts of the right  brain that are often associated with active concentration and busy  thinking.  Brain Boost: Beta Wave includes Find a Match, Shape  Recognition, Addition, Remember Sequence and Moving Dots training games.    


     


The brain's gamma waves appear to be involved in higher mental activity,  including perception and problem solving.  As such, Brain Boost: Gamma  Wave includes training games for remembering Circumstances, Faces,  Images, Numbers and Colors.    


     


Developed by Interchannel-Holon Inc, both Brain Boost: Beta Wave and  Brain Boost: Gamma Wave are scheduled to ship in November for a  suggested retail price of $19.99.    


   About Dr. Makoto Shichida & Right Brain Development Theory    


Chairman of the Shichida Educational Institute, Dr. Makoto Shichida has  been extensively researching development of the right brain for years.  His findings have been acknowledged worldwide and his theory is put into  practice at over 400 schools throughout Japan.  The right brain  generally dominates the recognition of images/shapes/spatial patterns,  illustrations, music, intuition and emotions.  In essence, Shichida's  Right Brain Development Theory revolves around the practice of daily  repeated drills of viewing shapes and colors, absorbing large amounts of  information quickly and being able to then accurately reproduce those  images visually.  The repeated stimulation activates the right brain and  heightens its potential.

At least it's not on the PSP, like the SEGA Nintendogs rip-off.. Or was that Brain Training too?

The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Nintendo really hit something with these Brain Games.  I've seen some of those $10 computer compilations at Wal*Mart now and there's some Brain Game on Verizon Cell phones that you can get.

Everyone's being more like Sony...

Kairon: If you want to buy a Majesco game grab Psychonauts instead.

I don't like any of those choices...

I don't own a PS2 or XBox, and I feel very icky about the thought of console games on PCs... this is the same reason I'm not picking up Beyond Good & Evil since I can only find it on PC...

I guess I'll have to fill my ever-shrinking free time with some other diversion then.

Then punch yourself until you stop feeling "icky". There's nothing wrong with playing these games on a PC. If you really need it you can grab a gamepad but for BG&E it was unnecessary (can't speak for Pysychonauts since I played that on the PS2).

Bastards. They even copied Dr. Kawasima & Takashi Tohoku University Future Technology Collaborative Research Centre when he thickly forges the professor supervision.
