Nintendo of Europe has delayed the Dr Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training release date from this Friday, April 12, to an unspecified launch window. The platform holder said in a statement issued to Nintendo Life:

"Nintendo has made the decision to push back the launch date of Dr Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training: Can You Stay Focused? for Nintendo 3DS to optimise the best possible launch timing of this title within the European market. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope to announce a new launch date soon."

The third title in the popular series and the first for 3DS launched last year in Japan and earlier in 2013 in the US, where it’s called Brain Age: Concentration. We said in our Brain Age: Concentration Training review: “If you enjoyed either of the previous Brain Age titles, or are genuinely interested in toning your brain muscles, then you’ll certainly love Brain Age: Concentration Training. The game features a nice array of fun and challenging mental exercises that will push your working memory to its limits, and its improved presentation makes the whole experience much more personal. It may still resemble more of a utility app than a proper game, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still a lot of fun in its own right.”
