CERGY-PONTOISE, FRANCE – 14 January 2011 – Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. today announced that Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises ™ has gone gold for Kinect™ for Xbox 360® controller-free games and entertainment. Players of all ages must think fast and act even faster as they answer math, logic, reflex, memory and physical related questions using the full-motion capabilities of the Kinect sensor. Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises challenges players to exercise both mind and body in the most cerebral and energetic party game ever from the originators of the video game brain training craze.

Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises is being developed under the supervision of renowned Japanese neuroscientist, Dr. Ryuta Kawashima. In addition to his neurological work in Japan, Dr. Kawashima has also supervised the development of several best-selling games. Dr. Kawashima’s previous efforts with video games proved to millions of gamers around the world how fun it can be to train your brain in minutes a day with simple brain puzzles. His newest research shows that, in addition to simple daily mind exercises, brain activity is also jump-started by physical movement; thus resulting in Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises. The unique full-body motion Kinect sensor allows players’ bodies and minds to work in unison as they get up off the couch to work out problems in their heads and complete the answer with specific physical actions.

Dr. Kawashima’s Body and Brain Exercises includes numerous different activities in single player and multiplayer modes.
