©NCSX▪ A new crop of apes join the Piposaru Academy and only the best recruits get to graduate. Take control of a simian frosh and play janken (aka Rock, Paper, Scissors) to launch mini-games which test reflexes as well as screen cue timing skills. Piposaru Academia 2 features 100 action games including monkey in cars racing, cannon firing, soccer, baseball, whack-an-ape, conveyer belt running, and many other exercises. The games we tested this morning were on the whole, short and enjoyable. We thought more could have been done with the monkey smacking mini-game where two pips straddle a pedestal and whack each other with jumbo jousting pugil sticks. For example, options could include jousting against multiple opponents or larger than life bruisers. As it is, there are a few one-on-one bout-themed mini-games in Academia which takes place in different locales and with different weapons. View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX site.
