Greg Bargas of GAMINGtruth takes on this 2D side-scrolling shooter. He writes:
Scram Kitty is smothered in retro goodness. The 2D side-scroller plays like Super NES titles of the past, while the sounds of the game beat to the tune of current-gen loops. There are hints of nostalgia for any player who grew up in the era, while still housing gameplay challenging enough for newer gamers. There also could have been a more accessible top-down view of the overall map but the lack thereof doesn’t hinder gameplay all that much.
It’s Thursday – eShop update time! And you know what that means: sales!
13AM Games, developer of hit Wii U party title Runbow, is holding a special sale this week commemorating eShop indie friendship.

Scram Kitty developer Dakko Dakko is creating a new Wii U title. Rhodri Broadbent, speaking with Eurogamer, shared the news. Specifics were not revealed.
Broadbent also discussed his “love” for Wii U and how the system “always brings a lot of new potential to gameplay, because you think about things in a different way.”
Nintendo's still got game. The Wii U has had its dry spells since its debut back in 2012, but 2014 was a great year for Nintendo's little console that could. This list consists of ten of the best Wii U console-exclusives that every Wii U owner would be proud to have in their collection.
Great list, i still need to play Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Hyrule Warriors.
It's nice to see DKC: Tropical Freeze get some recognition. It may be a safe sequel, but it improves on its predecessor as one of the best 2D platformers. Also, Retro Studios found the missing recipe for Donkey Kong Country, and it is David Wise's music!
Wii U is a secondary console at best. Don't know how a console missing 99.9% of the games on the market can be a primary console for any real gamer.
To be fair, the reason you probably don't know how or why a Wii U could be a primary console for real gamers is because you're probably not a real gamer.
