Brain Age 2 DS - Image 1 In a drive to get the word out there, Nintendo Company Ltd's Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes A Day is out to conquer communities to give folks a taste of the game. While some of the locations in the list are expected, there are those that seem rather unorthodox for a brain exercise to be in, like a parlor. A parlor?

Yes, along with a 50-City Mall Experience scheduled between now and January 8 of next year, a hair salon is also on their itinerary list. The chosen one: the new Nelson J Salon in Beverly Hills, California. Hmmm... what do you know? Maybe more of those Hollywood celebrities could get their hands on Brain Age 2 and exercise their heads, huh?

Anyhow, apart from those locations, the popular DS title is also set to visit the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk Events, where Nintendo will be sponsoring booths as their runs -- er -- walks in Chicago, Austin, New York, Washington, and LA. And still that's not all. There's also the Nintendo Street Team Appearances where members of the Ninty Street Team will bring Brain Age 2 to events like home shows and fitness expos in Atlanta and Long Island, to name just a few (running from from Sept. 28 - 30).

Whew. That certainly sounds like a busy calendar for Brain Age 2, don't you think?
