Worth it for the Sukoku alone.
brain.
good game! but 2 is better
I remember playing this game and it almost never reading my writing correctly, despite my attempts to change how I wrote numbers differently. Then, the game has the audacity to tell me that my brain age is 50-years-old or some shit. If I wanted an experience to feel inadequate about my mental capabilities, I'd rather go online and take some pointless IQ test.
This game felt so innovative back in the day. I remember being blown away by the Japanese dude's geometric face. Touch screens were still pretty new back then so it was awesome to see the game actually know what I was writing down.
Neat little educational experience.
random fun things:
- holding the ds sideways is weird but neat
- nice ui and sound design
- soundtrack goes hard
- polygonal japanese dude encouraging me
- i actually understand how to do the sudoku puzzles now
the best part was when it compared my drawings to my old save file and seeing that my 8 y/o self put in zero effort and drew smiley faces and butts instead of the prompts

bro i am so fuckfding smart
a time killer but it has sudoku on it
I mean, it does what it promises to do, even if it's not much. I even learned to do sudokus and do fast, short calculations with this so I guess it had a good impact on me as a kid?
Twas a good time as a young lad. They're fun for what they are.
Gonna give this to my parents so their brain doesn’t turn into mush.
Ew... math
The game said I have a brain age of a 70 year old
I feel like I let Dr. Kawashima down because I became uninterested with this game after a few weeks. He was sad when I deleted my profile. Sorry buddy. It's not on you.
for smart bois only
Brain Age assim como Big Brain Academy e outros jogos do gênero, comuns no DS, tinha como objetivo treinar seu cérebro por meio de exercícios diários para manter a acuidade matemática em dia.
Exercícios similares a Kumon, ligar letras e números em ordem, contar números iguais ou de cores iguais, e similares.
O título alega ter se inspirado no trabalho de pesquisa do Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, neurocientista japonês que se tornou o garoto propaganda da série.

This game made me feel dumb but I kept going back
looking back on it now this really wasn't much of a game was it
EWWW MATH YUCKY
Actually pretty fun and good brain exercises
You're either a smart fella or a fart smella.
I'd buy another one of these for Switch in a heartbeat. I guess it was my first exposure to DAILIES and even if the scientific benefits were bogus, it was a fun excuse to do math.
I don't even know if I'd classify this as a game but for what it is and is supposed to do, I think it works. So, uh cool.
9/10 fr
all of the speed-based challenges are just a test of how much you trust kawashima to correctly guess which number you scribbled out. hope he hasn't forgotten what an 8 looks like!
jailbroke my 3DS with this game lol
Oh man... I remember that we had this game, and everyone but me made a big deal out of it... Should still play it again though sometime, when I get the chance to.
The DS cartridge has a 2010 save file of a woman called Ellie whos brain "age" was 80 and I thought she died
Anyone else's parents make them play this?
Clever idea that was influential to the revival of handheld puzzle games (if you like Professor Layton, you can thank this game for letting Nintendo know to make more puzzle games). Brain Age is fine - it does what it’s set out to do successfully, but I wouldn’t be surprised if many of us have bad memories of it with our parents forcing us to play something educational.
Additionally, I was a big cry baby as a kid and the floating realistic head that got upset at you for not doing well freaked me THE FUCK out. I preferred Brain Academy a lot more as a kid because of this lol.
