School Yourself in Big Brain Academy Wii
Ready your grey matter. The Brain Training spin-off is coming home soon.
Dr Kawashima's Brain Training is nearly a year old and yet it's still hanging tough, consistently hitting the Top 10 on the weekly sales chart. Will the love spill over to the latest spin-off for the Wii? Nintendo will be hoping so.
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree is, like its DS counterpart, a collection of minigames. In this instance, they task you to visualise, memorise, analyse, compute and identify. The game keeps track of your performance, showing how you improve in each category.
But you won't have to rely on just your brain to keep you busy. The game supports a range of multiplayer modes, letting up to eight people flex their grey matter. You'll also be able to share your records online with other Wii owners.
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree will be out in Europe on 20 July.
