When I read Japan Today’s news item, ‘Brain training’ goods top Japan’s 2006 merchandise list, I decided to check out the Brain Boomers Festive Store, located at the top right of the Brain Boomer site. I was curious to see if these brain games were listed there.

Sure enough, I found an Electronic Sudoku Touch Screen PDA Handheld Puzzle Game. The additive brain game looks like an interesting edition - especially for travelers. Do you play?

Back to the Japan Today news article that led me to the Brain Boomer Store in the first place. Dentsu Inc., Japan’s major advertisement agency, said that second spot went to large screen flat-panel televisions. Quite a shift from a brain game….

Hopefully the Sudoku Mind Puzzle will grow back any dendrite brain cells that I know will be lost if that large screen television wiggles its way in to make it a passive day.
