Topic: Wii U needs a Gauntlet Game - Is Trine 2 as good?

My kids are playing the demo, but it doesn't feel the same. An awesome gauntlet style game on the Wii U (with 5 players) would be great.

It's too different to gauntlet to judge. Some of the free-form puzzle solving is amazing.

Try Nano Assault Neo for that quick, 360 degree, shoot everything as your enemies close in kind of feeling.

I think it's on sale or was just on sale and the graphics look amazing.

Trine 2 is a straight ahead puzzle game. There is the occasional fight and it's really made for 3 players so you can each be one, but its nothing like any of the Gauntlet games. We've played it a few times but honeslty we rarely go back to it.

If you want a good Gauntlet type game for just 2 kids to play, Skylanders. I know that sounds ridiculous on the surface but the layout and storyline are esimilar. Again, I'm tlaking kids, 5-12 would be about right. I prefer Giants over either of the other 2 but the swap aspect of Swap force is cool if you are willing to cough up the big bucks. We have about 35. Most sores sell Swapforce for about $35 now. I honestly can't think of anything else along the lines of Gauntlet on a Nintendo console. PS3 on PSN has Dungeon Hunter: Alliance for $15 for 3 or 4 people. Much better than Dark Kingdoms which was pretty horrible.

I think the closest you're gonna get to Gauntlet is to download Dungeon Explorer on the Wii Virtual Console under Wii mode. It's for the Turbo-Grafx 16 and it's only $6.

Well Forced is kinda sorta like that. I've been looking forward to it since before it was announced as a Wii U title.
