Cmack of Play Legit Writes "For a downloadable title at a low price, they didn’t skimp on creating a completely memorable and engaging look, the game has so much personality from it’s design."
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.
PixlBit | "Remakes can breathe new life into classic games, which despite being paragons of their time, are now becoming relics of the past. They represent a chance to update more than graphics and sound, but also gameplay and value to match contemporary standards without compromising the timeless elements for which they were originally known. Karateka, a remake of the 1984 martial arts-themed Apple II game of the same title, is true to its roots but aims unfortunately low in terms of bringing something new to the table."
