Empire and American Mensa are working together to create brain training games for console, handheld, Mac and PC, reports Gamasutra.

Like the British Mensa, subjects are admitted into the non-profit if they score high enough on a rigorous standardized intelligence test.

This is the first time Mensa has struck a deal with a games company.

Hopefully you won’t have to score in the 98th percentile to play the thing.

According to this Eurogamer report, Nintendo’s to release a slew of new DS bundles in Europes this Christmas. You’ll be able to buy:

• White or black DS with a copy of Brain Training – £120
• Red DS with Big Brain Academy – £120
• Pink DS with Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends – £130
• Blue DS with Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What to Eat? – £130

GI’s spotted that Brain Training’s now been in the UK top ten for 80 weeks, apparently a record.

The previous 79-week record was set by Eidos’ Tomb Raider.

This week’s UK charts can be seen here.

Speaking to MCV, Nintendo UK marketing boss Dawn Paine has admitted there are currently no plans for any more Brain Training games from Nintendo.

“The idea behind More Brain Training is that people can move across to it once they have played the first one, and vice versa, and are looking for new challenges and training exercises,” said Paine.

“Given that both titles continue to perform well, there are no plans for any more titles in the series.”
