With the Touch Generation in mind, Nintendo plans to release “Soduku Gridmaster” for the Nintendo DS game player on June 26. The game features 400 puzzles that can be played on the go and saved for finishing later. Columns, rows and smaller grid highlights can be used to help with tougher puzzles.

Gamespot describes the game: “The focus of the game’s educational aspect is that the activities on display are designed to activate your prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls how you apply what you know.

“Big Brain Academy” is a follow-up to “Brain Games.” People play one game chosen at random from each category, and the resulting score is meant to correspond how you think, Gamespot says.
