Pure Nintendo: Woah Dave! was a small but satisfying 3DS release from day one. When a huge update fleshed out the game with new characters, stages, and more, it became even better. It’s this “Deluxe” version that has recently launched on the Wii U. Since a review for the 3DS version fell through the Pure Nintendo cracks, please consider this coverage for both versions. And speaking of both, did you know there’s a cross-buy promotion? Sweet!
Here’s a timely look back at Woah Dave!, the minimalist masterpiece from Choice Provisions (formerly Gaijin Games). For fans of indie gaming, news of another beloved studio’s shutdown is never inexplicable. It’s a tough business for indie devs.
The developer behind the popular arcade game Woah Dave! has hinted that a sequel will be coming in late 2015
Woah Dave is crazy fast but a fun retro game. Cool to hear we may be getting a sequel.
i refuse to even download it for free. its literally shovelware and i don't want it stuck in my download history haunting me friom its awfulness.
Oh God, that game sucks. I was so disappointed it hit PS+. I don't expect all AAA titles but Germinator and Woah Dave stand out as the absolute worst the service threw up at my feet.
I hate to say it, but I totally agree with you, and I generally love retro-inspired games. Maybe I just didn't understand the game or give it enough time, but on several occasions that I tried it, I found the game to be almost unplayable. Very hard, and not fun in the least.
If they do make a sequel, I hope they put more effort into the gameplay.
I love retro-inspired games. It doesn't excuse crap that gets pumped out though. Actually, I tend to prefer shorter, retro style games now. My favorite handheld game of all time is probably Corpse Party.
It's sad too because I anted to like this game. It looks like an early 80's arcade game but plays like something from GameJam.
Here is the GamersFTW review of Woah Dave! on the PS4.
