Interview: Two Brothers Lead Composer Andrew Allanson

"Unlike most titles who are pushing current gen consoles to their limits, Two Brothers seeks to make old school new again. Two Brothers is one of the most promising titles coming out of (what I’m calling) the Kickstarter Renaissance, and aims to echo the timeless classic action and RPG games from the GameBoy era. The Ackk Studios production was funded last September, and is currently coming to the PC, iOS, Xbox 360, and the Wii U. Lead Composer and Writer for the title Andrew Allanson was kind enough to answer a few games for the upcoming title.", writes IHeartNintendo.

And a reason not to get it. Gamepad is cool for Optional 2nd screen stuff and Offscreen play. Shouldn't have ever been mandatory. Most people prefer the Pro Controller anyway.

GordonKnight2996d ago (Edited 2996d ago )

I have a pro controller and never use it. The gamepad is the best part of the Wii U, but we all have our own opinion on this subject. Will the mini games be available on the PS4 and Vita versions?

iplay1up22996d ago

I like the gamepad, but it SUCKS for Fast Racing Neo. My hands were cramping terrible! I can't even imagine Xenoblade X without the gamepad,along with a ton of other Wii U games.

BTW, Fast Racing is FANTASTIC, but the pro-controller, or Wii Remotes, are much easier (for me) to use.

blawren42996d ago

I only bought a pro controller for 2nd player on mk8. Never use it for anything else.

blawren42996d ago

I've never heard of this game, but it may be worth supporting. Clearly they are actually trying.
