[News] Brain Training announced for Nintendo Switch

[Arcaneum]

So it seems Brain Training is back on the Switch, but for me actually the craziest thing to take away from this is that there seems to be some new features/uses coming into play for the Nintendo Switch!

Nintendo Japan announced the game for the Switch and there are two key things to take away from this:

• Using the console vertically
• Utilising the Joycons in yet another way

I mean, recognising your hand enough to be able to determine how many fingers your holding up, say whaaaat?!!! Also it can be seen played using a stylus, which was also confirmed to be released for the console on the same day as the game coming out, so I wonder if games moving forward will start utilising this too...

Excited for future titles potentially using some of these features!!!

I've never played Brain Age but I hear it's really popular in Japan, so I'm glad the Switch is getting a new title. I wonder how the kanji writing will translate for a possible Western release. The hand detection is also a really cool feature to see, and image processing being advanced enough to recognize the number of fingers is great.

I do hope these features get used in future titles! The idea of cool gameplay implementations is super exciting.
