A new Brain Training game was revealed overnight, though the latest title backed by Dr. Kawashima isn't for the Nintendo DS, but Microsoft's Kinect.

Currently going by the name Lead: New Brain Training Where You Answer With Your Body - catchy - the game is scheduled to launch alongside Kinect in Japan on November 20.

Much like previous entries in the series, the game will offer up a series of puzzles which much be solved, only this time it will be your body that has the answers.

Mini-games shown during Microsoft's Xbox 360 Media Briefing in Japan included one where the player's arms became clock hands, another where you have to pop balloons in order and even a Pac-Man game in which players must avoid ghosts and collect fruit.

Namco Bandai is publishing.

Depends how you look at it. But I see what you are saying. But if Kinect sells to so called casual gamers then this will certainly appeal to them which was my original point. The GF is what I would refer to as a casual and likes the look of this! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Kinect version will sell as well as Wii but it will appeal to that market which was in direct response to MJTH's point.

3.57 million copies of "Big Brain Academy" on Wii says it will do fine.

REALLY...... Do they really think this will sell at all... I mean I can kinda understand it when it was on DS because that console portable and has an entire sub-genre for people beyond entertainment with cooking tutorial and art training games, but no one is seriously going to buy this...

... I say this now knowing full well this game will either do poorly or epicly interms of sales
