Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training /Switch

Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch is an edutainment puzzle video game developed by Nintendo and indieszero and published by Nintendo for Nintendo Switch.

It is the fifth entry in the Brain Age puzzle video game series, based on the research of neuroscientist Ryuta Kawashima, whose avatar guides the player through the game.

It was released on December 27, 2019 in Japan, January 3, 2020 in Europe and Australia, and July 1, 2020 in South Korea. The game was not released in North America.



Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch builds on previous installments by adding puzzles and mini-games to strengthen the player's memory and concentration skills.

The game features previous puzzles in the series, all taught by Dr. Kawashima. The puzzles in the game take advantage of some of the Nintendo Switch's features, such as the gyroscope and IR sensors.

Physical editions of the game include a stylus to assist with its touchscreen puzzles as an alternative to using your fingers.



The game received generally mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the Switch's use of technology, puzzles, and replay value, though many felt the game lacked innovation and variety. The game has sold 1.20 million copies by December 2021.
