In just a few more days, retailers will be stocking up on Bully: Scholarship Edition, a revamped version of the game that originally took the PS2 (and critics) by storm last 2006. Now, in case you're up for a peek, we've managed to pick up a few extra details on the control scheme and some of the new classes for Bully's Wii version.

As you've probably expected, Bully's new control scheme includes support for the Wiimote's motion sensitivity. The remote's D-Pad now controls your camera angles or. Pressing down on the pad while you're on a bike or skateboard will cause you to jump.

Holding "A" on the Wiimote will cause Jimmy to run; tapping it will cause him to sprint. The Z button is for grappling and fighting, though you'll really have to swing both the Wiimote and Nunchuk to pull punches. The "C" button on the Nunchuk controller in particular is for your targetting. Using it in conjunction with pressing left or right on the D-Pad allows you to either greet or badmouth whoever you're targetting.

Also coming up on the game's Wii release are several new classes: Math, Music and Biology. The Math class will consist of a multiplayer bout between you and your friends. Your objective is simple: Try to correctly answer whatever multiple-choice questions are tossed your way, and hope you can do it faster than the rest of your buddies. Challenges for this mini-game include simple equations, spatial challenges, geometry, and size comparisons.

The Music class' single-player mode will have Jimmy playing the role of a drummer boy in the school's upcoming Christmas Musical. Your job is to make sure that Jimmy beats his drum in cadence to whatever songs are being played. This is done by using the Wiimote and Nunchuck as drumsticks.

The Biology class is another multiplayer mini-game, with a twist. Here, you'll be racing against a fellow player as you attempt to properly dissect whatever dead animal you're given. It's like Trauma Center, except you're actually required to rip your patient's innards right out. Fun, and a little gross.

Bully: Scholarship Edition from Rockstar Vancouver for the Wii and Xbox 360 is expected to hit North America this March 4, 2008, at a cost of US$ 49.99 for either console. Keep in touch in case we receive more info on the game's new features. We've also picked up and included here a couple of recent in-game screenshots for the Wii release to give you an idea of how it's coming along. Enjoy!
