"This rethinking of the popular Nintendo DS game will test players brains with fun problems and allow people of any age to play together. The Wii Remote controller's hands-on control makes playing a cinch. Multiplayer versus and co-op play modes also have been added, allowing players to use the title as a brain-training exercise or a raucous party game. In split screen two-player versus mode, the same puzzle problems will appear in a different order -- The first player to get 12 correct answers wins." <br /> <br />Source: IGN <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The first attempt to bring brain training games to the console. They've proven to sell millions of copies on a handheld, the biggest question now seems to be if the same success is also possible on a console. Whether these kinds of non-games will show huge sales could be one of the deciding factors in the battle for supremacy among the different next-gen consoles. <br />

IGN Review: 7.6
IGN - June 8, 2007
Submitted by charron (290) at 3:15PM PST on June 9, 2007
"What Wii Degree demonstrates is that Nintendo really has the magic touch when it comes to the utilization of its remote. Very few third party titles incorporate that tangible, tactile responsiveness -- the sensitive controller rumble you feel when you're navigating menus in Wii Sports, for example. Wii Degree is fun to play partly because you really feel like you're reaching out and touching the puzzles and objects in the game with Nintendo's controller. That sense of polish goes a long way."

Nintendo Australia have announced a Big Brain Academy bundle deal, where you can get a Wii Remote and a copy of Big Brain Academy on the Wii for AUD$80. Considering Wii Remotes are AUD$70 on their own, you're saving yourself some cash right there.

Gamespot Review: 7.3
Gamespot - June 11, 2007

Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree is a simple collection of brain teasers that are different enough from the other minigame collections on the Wii to make it worth playing.

3This article from Next-gen.biz claims that Big Brain Academy only sold 1.3 million in North America and Europe up to 1 March 2008. If it shipped around 380k in Japan, not sold, then there is reason to believe that this stock has become overvalued. Nintendo's shipped numbers in this case might not have indicated near how much the game actually sold, they may have overestimated demand after initial figures and over shipped to retailers. Currently this will have sold only 1.7 million max (1.3 million sold in North America + Europe and .380 million (max) shipped to Japan). It remains to be seen how much this game is actually selling to determine how it will eventually end up.[ Oracle ] [ Level 23 ] [ Rank: 8 ]bids
1@ErikAston, the hyperlinks used to convert automatically. But I think it was preferred to allow you to label them instead of long URLs so they changed it a while back.
Do other people have more thoughts about the legs of this title? I'm surprised it wasn't picked up for delisting.[ Speaker ] [ Level 18 ] [ Rank: 543 ]bids
1@GoblinMerchant,
BBA Wii vs. BBA DS
That should work. I guess I've come to expect forums to convert URLs to hyperlinks automatically.[ Elite ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 191 ]bids
1@ErikAston, I don't know why someone downbid you, but it would help providing a hyperlink in the future. At least in Firefox, part of the link is hidden because it is so long. Thanks.[ Guru ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 260 ]

This to me appears to be one of those titles that make it onto a special list where it is sold at $20-30 new after it has died on the shelf. This will then breathe new life into the title and it will sell again, for a while. I forget what nintendo calls these kind of things.
