By now most of us have gone down the track of discovering our Wii fitness age with Wii sports, and now thanks to Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, players have the ability to test their brain age as well.

Big Brain Academy will test players’ brains with a series of interactive mini games and challenges.
Play solo or go head to head in multiplayer mode allowing players to take on a friend with a second remote, or pass remotes around in group competitions.

Guided through the game by the zany Dr. Lobe, players will exercise their brains with Test and Practise modes. There are a total of three multiplayer modes in Big Brain Academy which allow you to test your brain against up to eight other people.

In a group challenge, the first player to get 12 correct answers will be the winner.

There are 15 challenges in the game which are divided into five different categories:
* Identify (Visual-themed questions)
* Memorize (Memory-themed questions)
* Analyse (Reason-based questions)
* Compute (Math-themed questions)
* Visualize (Logic-themed questions)

Each mini-game can be played separately, and depending on the results, the player can be awarded with a bronze, silver, gold, or a platinum medal. There are four levels of difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert - the Expert level being unlocked when gold and platinum medals are acquired on all other levels.

Of course it works, because its the same PAL system.
Is the game good? is the minigame different from NDS version?
