Topic: Big Brain Academy looks fun!

[NWR_pap64]

Before this my interest in the game was nearly non existent. I mean, I thought the DS game was fun, but slightly forgettable. Once you reach the highest weight the game becomes old.

Big Brain Academy Wii Degree looked like it could be more of the same, until I read the latest previews and saw the new footage.

I honestly think it could be way better than the DS version and far more creative! One of the challenges actually has you listening closely to the Wiimote's speaker, then on screen selecting the answer! What I find so cool about this is that last March I took a test in which one of the parts required you to listen to a conversation then write the answer on the answer sheet.

Not only that, the game gets props thanks to Mii usage. I can't state loud enough that there should be more games with Mii usage, so its great to see another game using them greatly.

Finally, the Wiiconnect24 feature looks like it could be a lot of fun.

So overall, it looks like Big Brain Academy Wii Degree could be more complete and even better than the DS version.

Anyone feel the same way?

Well I'm getting it.  But I like Big Brain Academy on the DS too.  

I like the Mii stuff and mp in the Wii version.  I played a little mp DS-DS and that was alright, but the mp looks  more exciting on the Wii.

It's hard to say which multiplayer will end up being better.  The DS versions multiplayer was fun because everyone was doing the same puzzle.  It really made it feel more like a race where the "smartest" finishes a puzzle first and can then taunt the opponents.  In the Wii version, because everything is happening on one screen, cheating would be possible if everyone was doing the same puzzle.  Therefore they shuffle them all up.

I worry that games are going to often end with "You only won because I got the cheap <insert puzzle here> one where no one can do it."  It will be interesting to see how it comes out.

They need to release a workout game for your arms and abdomen called "Big Brawn Academy".

Hell yes. I would buy that in an instant.

I'm waiting for the Wii 2, with more precise movements for games with a sword(Rather than just waving it around)  and full body control movement.  Twist, Dodge, jump, run, etc .

I'm not sure if this is an issue.  It seemed that while the game shuffles the minigames, overall everybody still has to complete the same ones.

This game is a definite must buy for me. I also figured both players would play overall the same minigames but in a different order so you couldn't cheat by watching each other. Seems like the only and best way to go in a one tv setup.

In the demo I played back in september, everyone played the same set, but I attributed that more to the fact that there were only 3 different types of mini games available.  I figured when more games were included it wouldn't be that way.  I could be wrong though.  I should have played it at GDC, but I didn't get a chance to.
