Atari has confirmed the upcoming release of Asterix Brain Trainer for the Nintendo DS, scheduled for a June 27th release throughout Europe - except France and the Benelux region where the game will launch in October.

“With Asterix Brain Trainer, we are pleased to add the first brain training game to our extensive Asterix line up,” said Cyril Voiron, VP Brand Management, Worldwide Publishing, Atari. “ A summer release is perfect timing so that kids can keep their minds active and stay entertained with their favourite characters throughout the holidays and back to school period.”

Developed by Little Worlds Studio in close collaboration with Asterix licensor Les Editions Albert René, Asterix, notorious throughout the Roman Empire for his wit and cunning, is put in charge of Justforkix’s apprenticeship and guides him through a host of activities in the little Gallic village. Exams are held in the village school to go over what has been learned, get graded and track progress as the player heads towards the final challenge to ultimately reach warrior status.
