I do question why it is taking so long. Brain Training 2 came out shortly after the first one in Japan but has yet to grace our American presence. I do wonder why this is.
Because while BT1 was mostly numbers and colours, so they internationalize easily, BT2 is more word based, so the tests that make sense in Japanese (like replacing kana with kanji) just wouldn't work well in English

Ah. That makes sense. Would be much harder to make sure text-based stuff works in a game like BT than, say, localizing a JRPG, and those come out on 6-8 months lag time.

If it's in the works, maybe they'll pimp it as one of their big games this Xmas.
