Pit your brains against each other
Nintendo has announced a newBig Brain Academygame is coming to Switch, and it’s got some features that make brain training a party.Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brainis coming to Nintendo Switch on Jun 05, 2025.
The big draw of thisBig Brain Academyis its multiplayer features. The Party Mode allows up to four players to pit brain against brain, earning the highest points by quickly completing activities. These fall under five different categories—Identify, Memorize, Analyze, Compute, and Visualize—that all test your brain in different ways. Each player can also set their own difficulty level in the Party Mode.
If you’d rather undertake the activities solo, that’s also still an option, as well as three players via local play or playing against others online using data downloaded over the internet.

Big Brain Academyalso introduces a Test mode, where you can be tested in a series of five activities and then presented with your score, from the in-game host Dr. Lobe. Testing lets you unlock new cosmetics for your avatar, and you can also challenge the intellectual “ghosts” of your family and friends in this mode too. The Ghost Clash mode lets you take on other brain trainers from around the globe.
It’s been quite a while since the last entry in theBig Brain Academyseries, as thelast game launched on the Wii in 2007. It’s not quite the infamousBrain Training, but hey, any way to train my brain on the go is fun to come by. The launch date is a little odd though, seeing asBig Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brainis scheduled to launch on Dec. 3, the same day as theAdvance Warsreboot,Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp.
