njprescriptionpadsstyleaHospitals in Japan have found a great way to help out dimentia sufferers…play a little Brain Training. Dimentia is very common in the elderly, and doctors are finding that the Brain Training series is a perfect way for the elderly to keep their minds sharp. How they handle the Brain Training series even helps the patient to understand how heavily afflicted they are with the disease. 67 year old Isamu Shishido sums it up best by saying…

“I don’t want to end up some crazy old man. I want to play a little everyday before going to bed.”

Nintendo is reaching that blue ocean of people who have never been involved in gaming. Little did they know that along the way, they are actually helping people out in other areas besides entertainment.
