Sega Brain Trainer Portable for PSP – Images, Details, Apathy, a Girl...
But does slow news have to be boring?
Sega Japan has released images of Sega Brain Trainer Portable - currently and perhaps surprisingly, a PSP exclusive. We would have thought that the DS with its natty stylus would lend itself to puzzle and logic gaming on the go far more readily than Sony’s handheld, though seemingly not, according to Sega.
You see? We found a spin in the news. An exciting one about platform decisions at the very bottom of the Sega food chain. Interesting, aren’t we?
Sega Brain Trainer Portable, or SBTP as the cool kids are likely to start saying, features two-dimensional logic puzzles, seemingly involving matching up images with the PSP buttons. Like PaRappa the Rapper, only rubbish.
SBTP is about to launch in Japan, though don’t expect it in Europe. Sega’s obviously far too busy readying Shenmue 3 across 17 UMDs for us. Or something. More tepid Sega news on SPOnG next time nothing much happens aside from a tepid Sega title being released.

Sega never release multi-format games... they just seam to randomly pic formats on a whim. Which I think is one of their main flaws since becoming a 3rd party publisher, they should do some multi format stuff.
Why not release Virtua Fighter and Virtua Tennis on all formats?

You make a very good point there, King. Sega should indeed spread their lovely games the way EA do, because we have more respect for Sega than we do them.
It's quite strange but also welcoming that the DS has these kinds of edutainment titles are now selling like hot cakes from the bakery in Japan. Perhaps in the past they tried pushing them too hard on kids at home instead of trying the handheld angle to a wider demographic.
I see no reason why they should market such games over here and elsewhere too. I think they should atleast try because who would have thought that Nintendogs and Electroplankton would have sold. People are looking for new types of games to play, and the more diffeent the experiences on handheld are the more people will be attracted to gaming, young and old, male and female and that's the way it should be.
In truth these types of Brain Training games aren't much to look at candywise but that's the beauty of handheld gaming. Things don't have to spin millions of polygon etc to make you love it.
