Mutant Mudds Deluxe Venturing Onto Wii U in Q1 2013

Whenever I want to show people a 3DS game that actually makes great use of the the 3d effect, I always fire up Mutant Mudds.

However, if they don't find an interesting way to incorporate the gamepad into this version, I won't be buying.

Find this game to be kind of overrated. It looks great, but becomes very boring because there's no variation.

@grumblebuzzz
Agreed.

I wouldn't want to play it solely on the Gamepad... it will work on the TV right? I don't want to turn this into a handheld console, that's what my 3DS is for...

Cool, I might get it.

Wasn't this a launch title?

I just played the 3DS demo, and I must say, this game is great. I'm definitely going to be buying this, and probably the Wii U version. The 3D is just so good. Probably my best 3D experience on 3DS so far. (Just got a 3DS XL).
What really hit me while playing this, is that this dev, Renegade Kid, needs to make Zelda III-D Adventure of Link 2. A direct sequel to Zelda II, and featuring all the great 2D sprite work and 8bit music this guy is capable of. Now add in the multiple background/foreground interaction and travel. Also, Links very first thing should be to find the legendary hookshot(clawshot) and he'd use it to traverse heights, draw enemies towards him etc. Bionic commando stuff, but Link can still jump by himself.

Doesn't anyone else feel how great that would be?

I think it's best to leave Nintendo to develop Zelda. With the exception of Capcom (Flagship) and Greezo, when it's strayed, it's sucked. Hard

It would be good to have a new 2D Zelda though but one made by Nintendo. (imo)

It would be great if this game were to be compatible with 3D TVs. Otherwise, it's just not worth it IMO. I find Mutant Mudds rather difficult to play in 2D.

This one is up around the top of my list for eShop games.

I don't know if i'll get this again for Wii U, but I wonder what deluxe could possibly add to one of the best 3ds eshop games ever.

also Granny is spelled wrong, it should be "Grannie", since that's what it's spelled like in the game at least.

I expectations for Mutant Mudds were moderate at best but it blew me away. it won't appeal to everyone that's for sure, but if you grew up with games like Commander Keen and Duke Nukeum (when it was a platformer) you will love it. by far my most played 3DS download and the free DLC was great!

I understand your trepidation, but respectfully disagree, as you yourself have pointed out two other devs besides Nintendo who've managed to make great Zelda games. So I really don't see how Renegade Kids version would automatically suck. Is there a danger? Of course, but if Flagship and Greezo can do it, why couldn't Renegade Kid? Why couldn't WayForward, Retro Studios, and Frontier? I'm sure with Nintendo's guidance and quality control all these studios could produce great Zelda games and should be given the chance. This free's up Nintendo to focus on new IP.

And before anyone brings up Other M, the problem there is story/characterization. Though not as good as Prime series the graphics and gameplay were solid. Story was Nintendo's fault on that one.

And before anyone asks why I included Frontier in my list of Zelda devs. I included them because if you matched WindWaker Zelda with the Lostwinds series it would be an excellent match.

@ThreadShadow
Naw, Let Nintendo do it from here on out
Zelda in the style of Mutant Mudds? Not on yer nelly Mr.

@RupeeClock With you there.

I'm looking forward to it!

@Tsuchiya
Haha! Either you're joking or you've comically misunderstood me. This is about Renegade Kid creating a direct sequel to the NES game Zelda II Adventure of Link, a sidescrolling action Zelda game, with a tiny bit of overhead map wandering. The only thing coming into this from Mutant Mudds is Renegades great sense of 8bit graphics, music, and gameplay. Imagine Zelda IIs graphics and music and gameplay, but with the ability to jump between 3D layers like in Mutant Mudds. That's how it's in the "style of Mutant Mudds".

Now carefully start adding new polish to the graphics and music, add new gameplay elements like the aforementioned hookshot, and layer jumping. Take out the tear inducing level grinding, and add a great new 3D overworld map. Add a cool but bare bones story, and hello, wonderful new addition to the Zelda series!

It's an okay title,very overated.

"Imagine Zelda IIs graphics and music and gameplay, but with the ability to jump between 3D layers like in Mutant Mudds."

That sounds horrendous.

Depending on quality and quantity of the extra content i might have to download it whenever i buy my Wii U.

Eh...I guess I can hope for it.

Looking forward to this!!

once i get a wii u, this shall be mine

Shut up and take my diamonds! The prospect of having an excuse to replay the game is enough to warrant buying it for me because I love the 3DS version!
