Review 'Big Brain Academy': Nintendo's game that will gather families this Christmas

Over the years, Nintendo gathered families and friends around their consoles and the switch is not far behind with video games such as 'Warware: Get It Together' (USD $ 52.50 /mx $ 899) or 'Mario Party Superstars'(USD $ 64.99 /mx $ 1.690).

And now we have a new game that will test all your mental agility in a fun way: 'Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain' (USD $ 38.94 / mx $ 729).

This title is not so fun if you play it just because it is designed to "face" the different family members, regardless of their age, in a group of activities divided into five categories such as memory, calculation, analysis and more.Although apparently it seems that the game is not complex, as you respond correctly.

Some of the challenges require simple arithmetic skills, while in others you must remember increasingly complex sequences or identify an animal in a blurred image or in parts.You will have 60 seconds to respond correctly the greatest number of challenges and it is best to.

Something that I liked to play it with my family is that it is not a game that makes you feel frustrated (in case it is not so good in mathematics), because every time you play coins that gradually unlock it items such as hats, glasses and clothing formay your avatar use them.

History of 'Big Brain Academy'

Reseña 'Big Brain Academy': el juego de Nintendo que reunirá familias esta Navidad

If you do not know this franchise you should know that a long time has passed since its debut.It was in 2005 when the first title arrived at the Nintendo DS in which you had to face various memory challenges that increased their difficulty and after success more games were launched.

14 years after his latest installsmarter through 20 mini -games.

In addition, now it gives you the possibility of practicing individually to win gold medals or perform an exam where you will be challenged randomly in a game of each category to obtain a brain rating.At the end of the challenges you will show you a pentagonal diagram with your strengths and weaknesses highlighting the areas in which you need to improve.

The multiplayer is great success...If you have accessories

I faced my brothers and my mother and I must say that it was very funny.Even my sister said she would only compete in a few rounds to go to sleep and she stayed much longer than she liked the game.

In multiplayer mode you can face directly between four players even if you must have extra joy-con pairs (USD $ 83.94 / mx $ 1.970) or controls (USD $ 22.99 / mx $ 499) because each player needs to have their own.It is this competitive dimension that adds a lot of fun to 'Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain'.

If they are two instead of four players you can also try the multiplayer mode although I recommend that you do it in the portable mode of the Nintendo Switch because they will use the touch screen.This gives the game a good versatility and variety in the forms of game if you are looking for a party title that is suitable for every family.

You can also play online and improve your world classification of Big Brain in Ghost Clash.In this mode struggles against ghost data from other friends and family who are registered in your console or with people from another part of the world.

Conclution

This is the best game of the 'Big Brain Academy' series, but there is still a lot of potential to explode and more with a console like the Nintendo Switch.

I think playing the portable mode version in the new OLED version (exhausted / mx $ 9.999 to 24 MSI on Amazon) must be a better experience for the space on screen so that two players face face to face.It is one of the best party game options on switch and one that is suitable for everyone in the family.

In addition, I liked the customization options of the avatar where you can choose from its accessories to a phrase that represents it.It is a video game that will undoubtedly gather families and friends and that I would recommend to do something different and fun during the holidays.

You can buy 'Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain' on Amazon where you will find it for USD $ 38.94 / mx $ 729.
