"Darts Up is a fun game of darts in which you will have complete control over aiming thanks to the Gamepad motion sensor. You can play with your friends and family, up to a maximum of 4 Players, using the Mii™ to create your profile. Darts Up has several playing modes, including the famous 501." -- Wiiloveit.com (Official Press Release)
Does it Hit the Target, Or Should You Dart Away?
Darts Up is yet another one of the numerous budget titles on the Wii U eShop right now, which certainly isn't a bad thing. There are still ones you have to look out for, though. Will this be one that you try your hand or, you will it miss the target completely?
The little darts game released on the Nintendo 3DS got its new release on the Nintendo Wii U, adding a new mode and an online leadboard to the package.
Still, they're a few problems that makes the handheld version the better experience of both releases.
Pure Nintendo: "Darts Up is still good game (and wallet friendly at just $2.99) but its quick, simplistic nature might make it remain a better fit for 3DS. The loss of 3D effects, Mii characters being eliminated, and a lack of much new content is hard to overlook, especially since over a year has passed since it first released. Much like Abyss, this is another solid EnjoyUp port, but I’m not sure it surpasses the handheld original. Nevertheless I’m still scoring it the same thanks to its HD visuals, online leaderboards, and generally fun gameplay. Darts Up is a familiar but fun addition to the Wii U eShop that’s worth checking out."
Will this give me dart elbow?
