Majesco Entertainment Company has certainly rode on the current Nintendo wave extremely well, coming out with hit titles on both the DS and Wii platforms. With an extremely large user base on both consoles, you can be sure the percentage of attach rates of their software is more than enough to turn a handsome profit at the end of each quarter to date. Well, their latest software release will touch on the tried and tested formula of brain games, with the aptly named Left Brain Right Brain 2 hitting retail outlets around the country. This time round, it will rely on the same DS rotation mechanic that is found in the original hit, while rolling out all-new challenges to train both hemispheres of the brain and help players become truly ambidextrous.

Left Brain Right Brain 2 includes an updated graphic presentation and 20 new mini-games based on speed, accuracy, association, recognition, memory and strategy. Each game strengthens the left and right hemispheres of the brain by requiring players to switch hands between games as they rotate the DS in book style play. Afterwards, players can monitor personal progress and assess improvement by reviewing development percentages for each hand. Gamers can also tailor their favorite mental-training routine in the new Exercises mode, while testing ‘good’ and ‘weak’ hands via three random games in Ambidexterity Check. Finally, players can compete with a friend in both single and multi-card multiplayer mode to prove who has the mental skills to be truly ambidextrous.

You can pick up this DS title for a pocket friendly $19.99 where available.
