Brain Training gets renamed and dated for America.

The uber-successful Brain Training series is heading to the US, with a few changes. The first title in the franchise will be known as Brain Age: Train Your Brain In Minutes A Day, hitting US shelves on April 17. The sequel will follow on May 30, with the moniker Big Brain Academy. Inspired by Professor Ryuta Kawashima, the 'non-game' franchise clocked over a million sales for each of its three titles in Japan, helping inspire the country's DS frenzy in 2005. We'll have to wait to see whether such success can be replicated in America this Spring.

A European release is expected around the same period. We'll keep you updated on that.
