Greetings friends,

Ah brain age, the game that captured the hearts of adults everywhere during the DS's rapid rise in 2005 and 2006.  Lately though it seems the series has fallen on hard times.

How can a franchise go from 35M sold over two games for the DS have zero sales in two territories for its most recent game?  My guess is that itll eventually be blamed on 3rd parties.  

Seems like nintendo lost another important demographic...

Wait, what!! There's a new Brain Age game?

shame to see such an iconic ip fall flat :(

Games like Brain Age can be played on tablets and smartphones. Why buy such an expensive game when you can buy different brain training games for less.

Whoever thinks tablets and smatphones won't affect console and handheld games is delussional

What are the numbers for the game?

I don't know why anyone would have expected better of this game...
Nintendo didn't promote it...
You can get an endless number of similar games on your phone...
The original Brain Age was a trend; it's dead now...
I could see getting this game eventually, but nobody would rush out to pick it up, and I'm sure Nintendo knows that...

There aren't any, ergo no sales.

it's because you get those games for free or 1 dollar on smartphones and tablets. at least i think most of the people who bought those brain age games are fine with smartphone "brain" games.

Nintendo are partly to blame for a change in strategy/demographics.

They abandoned the market that loved them to appease the core and 3rd parties that care more about production values. They released an expensive product with very few games that appealed the that market. Theyre slowly going back to the DS strategy for 3DS, but the same problems are now holding back the Wii U.

Could also say that there are much cheaper options than this available on smartphones.
