Dr Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch[a] is an edutainment puzzle video game developed by Nintendo and indieszero and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the fifth entry in the Brain Age puzzle video game series, based on the research of neuroscientist Ryuta Kawashima, whose avatar guides the player through the game. It was released on December 27, 2019 in Japan, January 3, 2020 in Europe and Australia,[3] and July 1, 2020 in South Korea. The game was not released in North America.

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training for Nintendo Switch builds upon the previous installments by adding puzzles and mini-games to strengthen the player's memory and concentration skills. The game contains previous puzzles in the series, all of which are taught by Dr. Kawashima. Puzzles in the game take advantage of some of the Nintendo Switch's functionalities such as the gyroscope and IR sensors. Physical editions of the game include a stylus to aid its touchscreen puzzles as an alternative to using the fingers.[4]

The game received generally mixed reviews from critics with praise for the use of the Switch's technology, puzzles, and replay value, though many felt the game lacked innovation and variety. The game has sold 1.20 million copies as of December 2021.
