I've had a look around and haven't seen any reviews or even any details on what's been changed (if anything) in this game with regards to extras or pimped graphics. I'm interested in the game, the other console versions look great but I'm not buying a port "blind" although it's cheap enough at 30 quid and scores reasonably well for PS3/360 on Metacritic.

Has anybody seen any specific info or reviews on the Wii U version or are my alarm bells ringing for a reason?

There were some articles about it toward the beginning of the year.

They had an interview with the developer that specifically focused on the WiiU Build.

It was posted on N4G- I think it was during the time of the 1st Criterion "Need For Speed" reveals.

Well, it doesn't sound like it has ANY online and minimal changes to single player... Puns aside, I think I've dodged the bullet :)

CouldHaveYelledUiiW3989d ago

Sounds like it-

Lots of talk and so much speculation-
Before I act like I know what I'm talking about..

...I usually wait for Pro and Gamer scores before I make a call.

But I think you are right about the game.

I have been looking forward to getting this for some time.

lol the WiiU version of this game is going to bomb. I be surprised if it reaches 20k copies

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas4d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
