Yesterday, a new title in the Big Brain Academy series was announced. Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain is coming to the Nintendo Switch on December 3! The series originally started on the Nintendo DS, and a Wii game was released later in 2007. After that the series fell silent, but is coming back after all these years.

In Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain you can take on a number of brain-bending exercises to determine your brain's condition. You can do this alone, in local co-op or online, or even 1 vs. 1 on a single Switch, using the touch screen.

The game will launch at a SRP of £25/€30. You can find the press release, as well as the trailer, below.

In addition to fun multiplayer modes, Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain also includes single-player options in Solo mode, perfect for daily exercises to help finesse and improve your Big Brain Brawn score. These activities are an enjoyable way to start the day or wind down at night. And with the portable power of Nintendo Switch, you can challenge yourself anytime and anywhere!

The core gameplay in Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain consists of a number of different brain-teasing activities. They are made up of five categories – Identify, Memorize, Analyze, Compute and Visualize. There is a wide assortment of fun activities that will challenge your brain in different ways. These activities can be played solo, with up to three other players locally* or even against brains from all over the world using other players’ data downloaded from the internet.

Below is an overview about the different game modes:

Party Mode: Up to four players can go “brain vs. brain” to earn the highest points by quickly completing activities. By adjusting the difficulty from easiest (Sprout Class) to hardest (Super Elite Class), the activities will change – with the most difficult setting serving up quite the challenge! And each player can set their own level of difficulty to balance the playing field, so kids can even compete against their parents without fear of one of them falling behind!

Practice mode: Not emerging victorious from an intense multiplayer brain battle is not the end of your synaptic story! In Practice mode, players can replay their favourite activities to earn high scores and medals. This is a great way to improve your skills, so the next time you compete with friends or family in a multiplayer match you might have a better chance to emerge with the brawniest brain of all!

Test mode: In this mode, players are tested in a series of five activities. At the end, Dr. Lobe presents you with your Big Brain Brawn score. Aim for the high score and you might better your chances in the next brain vs. brain battle! Regular testing will earn you in-game coins, which can be used to unlock costumes for your avatar. Testing your brain is always more fun when you’re dressed like an adorable kitten!

Ghost Clash mode: You can even challenge the play data – or Ghosts – of your family, or connect online** to battle the Ghosts of your friends or random players from around the world in Ghost Clash mode. Improve your ranking to show off your skills to people all over the lobe ... er ... the globe!
