"Simple and straightforward isn’t bad. I imagine some variation of that principle governed Jordan Mechner and the team at Liquid Entertainment as they built the reimagined Karateka. The original Karateka released in 1984, and starred a heroic karate fighter on his way to save Princess Mariko from Akuma’s mountaintop fortress. Players performed timing-based punches and kicks to fight their way to victory. This remake doesn’t diverge from that formula, and the result is a game that feels more simplistic than most modern releases – though it remains relevant through high production values and a smart approach to replay.", writes GameInformer.
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
John Bedford (Modojo): What's going cheap on the App Store today?
A few months ago, a Wii U listing of the Karateka remake popped up on the ESRB. The game’s launch came and passed… yet there was no news about it heading to the eShop.
For anybody who hasn't played the game... This is a blessing. Not a "Aliens: Colonial Marines" blessing but a blessing nonetheless. As much as I like to see the Wii U library grow this game was a mess.
Gee, what a surprise.
Not that the game was that great though, like Nevers0ft said.
