Topic: Wii U eShop Recommendations thread

Edge is pretty cool for a game to play in spurts- it's only 1.99 or it has been that low. i think it went up to $3.99 and it's well worth that, IMO.
As mentioned, Castle Storm is very good- I'm surprised more people don't talk about it. Lots of content and reasonably priced DLC that extend the missions
TNT Racing is rather frustrating, but I've enjoyed it a lot- I think part of the point of the game is to be frustrating, so once you get past that, it's a lot of fun
Star Wars Pinball is pretty awesome- another game that you can just pick up and play in short spurts
Bit Trip Runner is pure awesomeness- very, very enjoyable, creative, great music and pretty solid replay value

So far these are my top Indie games- I bought Child of Light but haven't played it yet- it has been received well by both critics and the gaming community.

I have Monster Hunter- and people swear by it- at this point, I don't have the patience to learn it, but I might get curious at some time a try it. Supposedly has 100s of hours of play on it. That might be your best value if you are interested.

For $30, I'd go Castle Storm and Bit Trip Runner (was going to say Star Wars Pinball, but with the new tables, that's $20.

If I had to pick two out of Two Tribes' four eShop games, which two would you guys recommend?

EDGE, RUSH, Toki Tori, or Swords and Soldiers? I've never played any of them before, so which two will provide the best cheap fun?

Toki tori 2+ and swords and soldiers. Played them all and toki tori is by far the best.

Just grabbed several games last night through eshop: Armarillo, Zelda:Minish Cap, Guacamole, Pushmo, and Metroid Fushion. I may pick up a few more...I decided to go with the eshop games instead of the AC:IV or MH3U rought...just felt like I would get a better variety. Thanks for all the suggestions though!!

Also looking to grab H2S in a week or so...and the rest of the GBA library.

So, here's my eShop purchases this year and how I rate them:

9/10 Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails
9/10 Stick It to The Man!
9/10 Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
9/10 Pullblox World
9/10 Squids Odyssey
8/10 UnEpic
8/10 Armillo
8/10 Knytt Underground
8/10 Child of Light
8/10 NES REMIX
8/10 NES REMIX 2
8/10 Swords & Soldiers
8/10 F1 Race Stars - Powered Up Edition
8/10 Flowerworks HD: Follie's Adventure
8/10 Color Zen
7/10 XTYPE+
7/10 Dr. Luigi
7/10 Star Wars Pinball
6/10 Monkey Pirates
6/10 Abyss
5/10 Ice Cream Surfer

I still have to get How To Survive and Gaiabreaker. Unfortunately Master Reboot isn't released in my region.

Can't wait for Shovel Knight, 1001 Spikes, and Ittle Dew hitting in Europe as well.

Mine are about to soon be up there...I am starting to really enjoy a lot of the Eshop only titles...although this new week brings more "sales" from some of the downloadable retail style games.

Although if the maintenance keeps up I won't be getting much today...rrrr

just wanted to mention that Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams has been fixed and now the off-TV mode has sound coming out from the GamePad. Yeah, still not a good game I think, but at least the developers kept their word so, great.

Help me pick? I plan on getting one of these.

-Shovel Knight (Should I get the Wii U version or the 3DS version if I get this??)
-Child of Light
-Ittle Dew
-Ducktales: Remastered

Shovel Knight and Wii U version unless your on the go a lot.

I would really like a new game to the wii u. I love mario 3D world and mario kart 8. DK tropical freeze was ok. Dont like Zelda wind waker. Could anyone recommend some games for me?

Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, Wonderful 101, Guacameele! Super Turbo Championships Edition, Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails

Lego City: Undercover is a LEGO game that shouldn't be missed.

Pushmo/Pullblox World and Stick it to the Man! are also good games, but might not be what you're looking for.

I have only played Shovel Knight and Ducktales but Shovel Knight is the superior of those two. I would get it if ur a retro fan, specifically platformer action games. I would say stay away from Ittle Dew. Have fun!

The controls is much of the game in Scram Kitty's case. They are accurate, tight and fair. If someone is rubberbanding away from an area by mistake, that's not a player who masters the controls (you can control a rubberbanding jump, but it's difficult). Scram Kitty needs practice from the player. A player with that practice will master the game. It's a hard game, but never unfair (except perhaps for the unlocking mechanism at one specific level).

Have you seen the "Scram Kitty Super Plays" videos, posted by Dakko Dakko on YouTube? Those player are pretty good.

The puzzles are pretty self-explaining when playing the game IMO, since the difficulty level increases pretty gradually. Most puzzles are variants of something you already solved. The problem I have with that game is that some passages are hidden to be unlocked, so it's not always that evident how you should go. It is a slow-paced game, but it's also a very low price for lots of content.

Thanks guys. I ended up getting Shovel Knight.

I noticed not too many new eshop games have been announced. Are games not making the profit they hoped they would? Even at E3 there were only about one or two games I hadn't heard of already. The other potentially great games are all Kickstarter and no telling when they'll release. Is this just my imagination or am I over looking something?

I need 9 points to get a freebie voucher from the premium network thingy. I was thinking Pushmo World whilst it's on offer but is it too similar to the 3DS versions to worth getting again otherwise I may just get more Pikmin 3 DLC unless someone has another suggestion?

I'm really interested in buying Child of Light... Have any of you played it enough to have a formulated opinion on it? I'd buy it regardless, just curious.

Child of Light is fantastic if you like that type of games, specially considering the price. There's a Child of Light thread in the regular Wii U forum if you want to read more user opinions.

for $2 it's a great game. it's kinda like Lunar Lander from back in the day, but it's set underwater and you pick up these lights in a tunnel. i'm only on the furth of 12 stages but it's just a fun little game to pick up and play.

based in the reviews here, i guess i'll get little inferno. it's only $5 now. sale ends tomorrow.
