The popular DS brain training game has arrived on the iPhone and iPod Touch, Brain Exercise with Dr. Kawashima can now be found on the App Store.

Barry O'Neill, President, Namco Bandai Networks Europe:
"It's not often that Apple aficionados have to play catch-up but the 27 million users of Dr Kawashima's various brain training platforms are testament to the rise of this genre of casual gaming. We look forward to seeing how iPhone and iPod touch users rank against others who are already using Dr. Kawashima's approved brain training games on the move."

Namco Bandai has also simplified the process allowing Apple users to get their brain training fix. iPhone/iPod touch users can upload their brain age to the Global leaderboard and compete with the best brains in the world. They can also compare test scores with friends on Facebook, tracking their progress against the people who really matter. The Facebook application also offers a free "light" version of the game to let Facebook addicts test their mental muscle before embarking on their mobile training programme.

If you want to exercise your brain without the need to carry a DS around too, it can be yours for £3.49/€4.99/$5.99 andthat includes unlockables such as a full Sudoku game with bonus levels as well as a multiplayer mode for up to four players on the same device.
