Brain Age 2 - Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training - Full Game Playthrough (Nintendo DS)
766A full game playthrough for More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima's: How Old Is Your Brain? on the Nintendo DS. This is the second game in the Brain Age series.
This playthrough shows all minigames, as well as the "story" from start to finish (as far as there is one) and some side-content.
For more information, continue reading below.
Once again, the date of 2011 is wrong, so ignore that.
- Rock Paper Scissors
The age old game, except it's been twisted a little. Rather than winning every match you're occasionally asked to lose, which can really mess with your brain tbh. This is voice only.
- Missing Symbols (4:30)
Fill in the missing symbols to complete the sum. It's more or less reverse maths, and it's pretty easy.
- Masterpiece Recital (6:00)
Sort of a rhythm game, where you have to touch the correct note to progress. The window to go uninterrupted is ridiculously tight though.
- Word Scramble (8:20)
Make a word out of the letters you're given.
- Correct Change (11:20)
A minigame where you have to exchange the right amount of cash using coins & bills. Yeah, *those* things.
- Word Blend (13:05)
Make out several words spoken through each other. The real challenge is making out what's being said using the DS's speakers.
- Memory Addition (16:38)
- Days and Dates (20:35)
Several calculations with dates. Kind of annoying when your system's date is January 6th from 9 years ago.
- Finishing Position (23:40)
Calculate the position of your runner. One of the more fun minigames tbh.
- Word Blend Hard (28:07)
A harder version of Word Blend and tbh this is very annoying for non-native English speakers.
- Determine the Time (32:55)
Determine the time of a clock with only one number on it. It's all fun and games until they're reversed and upside down.
- Masterpiece Recital Hard (36:13)
This is Masterpiece Recital, but without showing what notes you need to press. I honestly can't be bothered to remember them (although on second consideration I could've played a video aside to look)
- Missing Symbols Hard (37:45)
The same minigame as before, but this time with devision, multiplying and brackets thrrown into the mix.
- Calculate the Height (39:30)
This is sort of Tetris but you have to remember how many blocks are in each column.
- Memory Addition Hard (44:44)
Here's where things get a lot trickier. Instead of two numbers you now have to remember three.
- Germ Buster (48:00)
This is more of an easter egg game, and is similar to Dr. Mario and Tetris. Line up 4 blocks of the same color to get rid of the viruses. I love the relaxing music remix btw.
- Brain Age Check (50:20)
You can do this with a variety of tests, some of which new, other not. There are 4 new minigames that can be played here:
Highest Number: Select the highest number on the screen.
Speedy Symbols: Redraw the symbol based on the number.
Continues Countdown: You're given a number and you have to keep subtracting it until you can no more.
Memorize 5x5: Remember 25 grids along with their numbers. I forgot to include a pic for reference here so sorry.
And finally I browse through his selection of tips.
