Teasing Game
SAN
FRANCISCO
(February
26, 2008) –
SEGAŽ of
America,
Inc. today
announced
that Brain
Assist™ for
the Nintendo
DS™ portable
handheld
system has
shipped to
North
American
retailers.
Designed to
specifically
target the
right
hemisphere
of the
brain, Brain
Assist will
test one’s
visual
perception
skills and
stimulate
the
creativity
center of
the human
brain.
Players will
be guided
through the
game by six
different
Brain Assist
nurses.
These nurses
administer
the 10
different
brain
teasing
games in
Brain Assist
and are
responsible
for scoring
a player’s
performance
upon
completion
of the
exercises.
Each game
offers a
different
challenge in
order to
exercise the
different
facets of
the right
hemisphere
of the human
brain. These
games range
from “shape
identification”
where
players
piece
together
specified
shapes to
“spot the
difference”
where
players look
for
differences
between two
almost
identical
images.
Other games
such as the
“match game”
tasks
players to
match two
identical
symbols in a
jumbled
collection
of other
symbols.
Each game
tests the
ability of
the player’s
right brain
to process
and digest
the
exercises
quickly and
accurately.
Brain Assist
on the
Nintendo DS
will retail
for $29.99
and is rated
E for
Everyone by
the
Entertainment
Software
Rating
Board. For
