Flex Your Mental Muscle With
Namco’s Brain Exercise

Casual mobile game is
scientifically proven to stimulate the brain!

Namco Networks today announced the
availability of Brain Exercise across US national carriers. This game is
scientifically proven to stimulate the brain and challenges players with a
seemingly endless supply of fun and addictive puzzlers.

“Namco Networks is all about
delivering fun, quality games,” said Scott Rubin, senior vice president of sales
and marketing for Namco Networks. “Brain Exercise makes training your brain fun.
It tracks players’ daily and monthly progress, which makes it hard to put down.”

Namco’s Brain Exercise, which has
been a top seller in Europe and Japan, is officially tested by Dr. Kawashima,
the man behind the original brain training game on the Nintendo DS. With 10 fun,
cranium-crunching categories involving memory, logic, calculations, visual and
spatial perception, this is one exercise regime players will want to stick to.
Brain Exercise’s categories are:

  • Memory – Flashes a sequence of
    lights and asks the player to press the corresponding keys to match the
    sequence

  • Arithmetic – Delivers simple
    arithmetic questions

  • Rock, Paper, Scissors – The player
    is instructed to win, lose or draw against an opponent

  • Inverted Numbers – Asks the player
    to input the numbers on the screen

  • Predominant Numbers – Has the
    player identify which number appears the most in a crowded screen of numbers

  • Red Minus Blue – Tests the
    player’s ability to calculate a sum based on blue negative numbers and red
    positive numbers

  • Shape Construction – Challenges
    the user to create the target shape out of combining others shapes

  • Answer the Question – Displays a
    target colored shape and ask the player to count the number of shapes matching
    the displayed target

  • Rolling Shapes – As a shape rolls,
    the player determines the final orientation of the shape

  • Follow the Pencil – Has the player
    predict which goals the pencils will reach

Brain Exercise keeps players’ minds
awake and active with a personal coach who keeps you focused and on track as you
compete in one of three modes—Brain Training, Brain Age and Practice. In Brain
Training Mode, players participate in a daily training regime with three
mini-games to stimulate different regions of the brain: the temporal, parietal
and frontal lobes. Brain Age Mode tracks the player’s progress with in-depth
stat tracking as they work their way towards a younger and sharper brain. During
Practice Mode, players can play as many mini-games as desired without the
results counting towards your daily training.

Cranking up your cranium with Brain
Exercise has wide appeal and is perfect for the casual mobile audience with
simple and intuitive controls. It offers a whole-brain workout packed in a
mobile phone for instant training anywhere. Brain Exercise offers both a quick
exercise break and hours and hours of fun with randomly generated puzzles.
