[edit] Affiliation with Nintendo's Brain Age series?

Judging by the website (this product is made by Sega Games), and by mentioning Dr. Kawashima only in passing, I don't think this game is part of the Brain Age series. If anything, it seems a direct competitor that is trying to promise more than Nintendo's products are.

I know this article is just a stub as of this writing, but the bottom box links it to the actual Brain Age products. Perhaps this should be investigated?--Athenor 06:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, update: I found a blog talking about the original version of the product: http://headinside.blogspot.com/2007/04/sega-brain-trainer.html

This is not the product being advertised on US infomercials. That product looks like a knockoff DS, complete with stylus. I wouldn't be surprised if the guts were the same, though. The informercial's homepage claims that it is made by Sega Games, so it is the same product line at the least. The article uses the US release date for Brain Age, and the Japanese for Brain Training. In Japan, Brain Age came out first for the DS. --Athenor 06:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
