Brain Academy Wii arrived this morning and I'm more impressed than I thought I would be. Looks pretty good fun if there is more than one of you playing it too - will try multiplayer when partner arrives home tonight. Think she will like it, she is enjoying More Brain Training atm.

Anybody fany trying the sharing results thing? If so, add me (friend code in signature) and send me your wii friend code.

Oh, ignore some reviews which state the game as full price - you can get it for under Â£17 from play and amazon.

Caffeine Kid - sent my results to you btw.

Ah well, there you go then, you're using muscles that you didn't know you had.

It should ease off with time ..........

Ahh. I never knew I had ANY muscles at all

Still trying to decide what next

you don't actually have to swing hard, that might help.

That's what I like about Wii Sports - you can really involve yourself with the full swing (for Baseball, Tennis, whatever) or for those lazy/knackered moments you can get away with just a small movement of the arm and wrist.

Just dust this off... still relevant it seems.

I love to give it some welly when I'm playing even if it makes my arm ache - at least you know you've been doing something then.

That's exactly how I play. It feels more natural.

Well I spose i should be celebrating being the rabid fan boy but I am buying one of these in 4 weeks (the elite) so not a happy bunny really...

edit - although to quote a MS hater from Giz -

"good god, they have no shame!

zunes on shelf = sold
xboxes replaced = sold
vista bundled on shelf = sold

I guess it IS kind of technically true - if it's on the shelf, they got paid for it, it's sold... hey did apple do the same thing for the 100 million ipods sold???"

A quick question...

When playing Cube games on the Wii, can I save to the Wii's internal memory or do I need an actual Cube memory card?
