"Broken Rules made their debut with “And Yet It Moves” on the WiiWare service, which received critical acclaim and it showed what indie developers are capable of on Nintendo consoles. Broken Rules is back with a new game called Chasing Aurora, and it will debut on the Wii U’s eShop.
Chasing Aurora is a beautiful 2D aerial action game with a nature inspired theme that has you play up in the mountains and down in the forests. The graphics are inspired by origami, and the graphics are very triangle based. In one multiplayer mode, you are like an iceberg that is trying to freeze other players on the Wii U GamePad while everyone else uses Wii remotes/nunchucks while sharing the camera on the TV screen. There’s another multiplayer mode where you have to fly away from other players (kind of like a “hide and seek” or “keep away” mode).", writes NotEnoughShaders.
The acclaimed developer of Old Man's Journey reveals how nature and politics fused for its latest game.
"...in a profound message. It tells a story about deforestation..."
43 years ago my 3rd grade teacher said the Amazon would be gone soon. Still waiting.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The official end of the WiiWare service may not be until early 2019 but we wanted to give everybody as much of a chance as possible to remember all of the great games that Nintendo’s first every download service brought us. Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."
NerdBite: Old Man's Journey is one of those rare games that will definitely surprise many at every turn. Its a game that speaks volumes where its main focus lies on strong visuals, music, and very little use of dialogue. With colorful environments to get absorbed into and a relaxing soundtrack to listen to all day long on repeat, Old Man's Journey is the perfect laid back game to play this summer.
