I highly recommend Xeodrifter no matter what system you get it on—and by getting it on one, you’ll automatically have it on both. It’s a win-win!
UPDATE: I fixed the scaling issue. I just had to go into the Wii U Settings and shrink the bounding box a bit. Worked perfectly!
If Tetris is your thing, this is a great package, and the online component—especially the leaderboards—are welcome and robust. I just wish people were playing more game types than Battle mode. While it doesn't offer the zany game types or interesting visuals of Tetris DS, this is a better...
But the core gameplay—puzzle-solving with clones—is distinctly enjoyable. In a way, it reminded me of the Clank puzzles in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, but on a 2D plane. If that kind of puzzle-solving is up your ally, I’d give The Swapper a try.
Are there advantages to playing Shovel Knight on the Wii U? Well, the game looks great on a TV, and the subscreen is relegated to the GamePad, where you can equip Relics on the fly. There’s also, of course, Off-Screen Play (which is a big deal for me). But honestly,...
For the most part, ASM2 is more of the same, but the unfortunate addition of the “Hero/Menace” meter turned a previously-enjoyable aspect of the game into something I was obligated to do, and thus I quickly became resentful of it. I wound up spending a lot of time between story...
Despite the fact that Arkham Origins sticks painfully close to the formula established by Arkham City, it’s still a wonderful game that Bat-fans will adore. And hey, when’s the last time you could say the Wii U version of a multiplatform game turned out to be the best one? It’s...
While subsequent games in the series are also rock-solid, nothing quite reaches the level of zen that the original Mega Man X does, and if you've never played it, I envy you! To play Mega Man X for the first time would be a real treat. If you've played it...
I’m not sure how much I can recommend this HD remake for people who already got their Revelations fill on the 3DS, but if you haven’t played it before, Wii U is the way to go. It’s a fantastic game, and while I still disparage the plot and the insistence...
Unlockables are limited to alternate costumes (there aren’t many), concept art, music, and new Battle types. Seemingly every time you accomplish something in single or multiplayer modes, more avatar customization options open up. I’m sure all the exclusive pre-order bonuses, like GameStop’s “Red Son” costume pack or Wal-Mart’s “Batman Beyond”...
Despite these problems, Darksiders II is an excellent, lovingly crafted game I wholeheartedly recommend, especially if you liked the first. From a production value perspective, it’s at the top of its class, and my problems with the game are largely personal preference quibbles. Just like the first, Darksiders II is...
So if you’ve never played MSF, this is definitely the way to do so. For people who’ve already bought the game on 3DS, it’s a judgment call. I certainly don’t have buyer’s remorse thanks to the new content, but you will basically have to play through that of the 3DS...
