Wii U’s latest indie offering, Dot Arcade, is available today, and Nintendo is spreading the word on the minimalist experience with a new video featuring gameplay and interviews with the design team.
There is an increasingly large number of games saturating the market which rely on nostalgia to perform well. While not a bad strategy sometimes titles begin to feel like they are relying on the fact that they can feel a bit simplistic and simply copy older titles. Dot Arcade bucks this trend by being a reference to old arcade games which has its own unique throwback style you won't find anywhere else.
All in all, Dot Arcade is a fun diversion from the more complex games out there. It’s simple and can be fun in spurts.
Dot Arcade fantastically delivers a retro experience that others would have a hard time recreating.
