What is wrong with Mii? In case the caves you hide in don’t yet have a Wii and you are not yet aware: Mii-pronounced “Mee”-is something which on other games and machines is often known as an “avatar” or “toon.” On the Wii, this is called a Mii and represents each player on the Nintendo Wii Console.

Well, to answer the question in the first sentence would take entirely too long! In reality, nothing is wrong but there are some new downloadable updates on the Wii Shop Channel you may have missed.

When creating your Mii, you get to decide every feature of your face and more such as the size of your eyes, nose, smile, and so on. This may make you feel a bit like that “big bad wolf” preparing for a visit from the grandmother-visiting girl in the red hood who tends to ask too many questions! But, if you are like me, you find it rather enjoyable to peruse the extensive selection of attributes to find “just the right combination” for the perfect Mii for the situation. (more…)

Review- Big Brain Academy

Posted by nic in Game Reviews

Now when I think of games like Big Brain Academy I automatically think of hand held consoles. So when I started to play this game I had to think if it could stand on it’s own two feet in a static console.

I will leave it up to you to decide but today I will give you my slightly biased opinion. When I booted up the Wii system with this game I was automatically greeted in the academies hallway and it was almost pleasant to notice that my Mii Character was wandering around. Now after seeing that the available modes are limited I thought to myself that this game would be one best played with friends. If you haven’t got any then I suspect you have been playing your console a little too much. ;)

But as I go through the game I noticed that the graphics were not what you would call outstanding. But once again the Wii has managed to pull of a nice appeal with limited graphics. The graphics resemble somewhat of Wii Sports and those simplified elements worked well and in Big Brain Academy it has done the same. (more…)
