In their latest preview of Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, GameSpy reveals multiplayer modes, Wii remote speaker compatibility and what brain exercises will be available.
Up to eight players can compete in the multiplayer modes which include Race mode, Survival mode and Panic Panel.
In Race mode, players will compete to see who can finish the most exercises in a set amount of time. Survival mode will eliminate a player when they make a mistake while Panic Panel allows players to earn points by completing exercises.
To keep track of Data, Wii Degree will keep your results in a record book which can be set to a specific Mii and sent to friends over Wi-Fi. The exact number of record books that can be held on the Wii was not specified.
The Wii remote’s speaker will also be used in Wii Degree in a specific exercise as well as provide words of encouragements during training.
Here is a list of the exercises quoted verbatim from GameSpy.
