SYDNEY, Australia – 17 September 2010 – Leading video games publisher NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. today announced Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises for Kinect™, controller-free game and entertainment for Xbox 360™. Players of all ages must think fast and act even faster as they respond to maths, logic, reflex, memory and physical questions using the full-motion capabilities of the Kinect sensor. Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises challenges players to exercise both mind and body in the most cerebral and energetic party game ever from the originators of the video game brain training craze.
Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises is being developed under the supervision of renowned Japanese neuroscientist, Dr. Ryuta Kawashima. In addition to his neurological work in Japan, Dr. Kawashima has also supervised the development of several best-selling games. Dr. Kawashima’s previous video games proved to millions of gamers around the world how fun it can be to train your brain in just minutes a day with simple brain puzzles. His newest research shows that, in addition to simple daily mind exercises, brain activity is also jump-started by physical movement, thus resulting in Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises. The unique full-body motion Kinect sensor allows for players’ bodies and minds to work in unison as they get up off the couch to work out problems in their heads and complete the answer with specific physical action.
Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises includes over 20 different activities in single player and multiplayer modes. Up to four friends can compete in fun and engaging activities as they strive for the youngest brain age. A daily progress tracker makes sure that players are up-to-date with their current brain age as they continue to stimulate both mind and body.
Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises will be available in Q1 2011 exclusively on Kinect for Xbox 360. For more information, please visit www.namcobandaigames.eu
