SEGA has today announced the development of Brain Assist, a new game for Nintendo DS designed to exercise the brain in fun ways.

The game is based on the classic Japanese arcade game Touch de Uno! and focuses on strengthening the right hemisphere of the brain by challenging the player's memory, concentration, reflexes, deduction and analytical abilities.

In addition to a progressively more difficult single-player experience, Brain Assist features two-player co-op and fast-paced competitive action for up to four-players.

"Giving your brain a workout is important no matter what your age, especially if you want to increase those IQ points," said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe. "Brain Assist is easy to pick up and play, and being on the DS means you can exercise your mind wherever you go!"

Brain Assist is scheduled for release for Nintendo DS in spring 2008.
