«©NCSX» The body gradually loses vim and vigor as age whittles away its youthful potency. Similarly, age whittles away the mind as one reaches the golden years. To prevent the loss of brain power, Professor Kawashima of Tokyo University advocates the use of simple brain exercises that consist of reading, speaking, arithmetic, piano key tapping, writing hiragana (Chinese characters), memorization, and many variations thereof. There's also a Dr. Mario game and a janken game where the Japanese words for rock-scissors-paper are shouted into the microphone. A daily record may be kept to show your performance by way of a chart and up to four individuals may save their records and track their historical performances. For group activity, up to 16 Nintendo DS users may link up to 1 NDS+cart for drawing and math challenges.View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX site. NCS Product Notes
* The Nintendo DS is held like a book when using the Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training 2 software. The cues are shown on the left (top) screen while the input is entered on the right (bottom) Nintendo DS screen. * In the Janken (Rock-Scissors-Paper) game, the Japanese words you'll have to speak into the mic are as follows: Rock = Guu
Scissors = Choki
Paper = Paa * Similar to Brain Trainer Portable on the PSP, there's a "click on the largest number in the group" exercise. A new variation features a field of moving numbers and one has to tap on the largest number as quickly as possible for a good score. * An entertaining group exercise is the drawing contest. An object is suggested by the software and everyone connected draws their interpretation of the object. Once done, the participants judge the artwork and decide who's rendition is the best. * The full title for this product is: Touhoku Daigaku Mirai Kagaku Gijutsu Kyoudou Kenkyuu Center Kawashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training Jan Code: 4902370512793 This document is ©NCSX 2005.
