The Wii U eShop has had its share of enjoyable releases recently, and another to make its presence felt is Paper Monsters Recut, a platformer originally released on smart devices that has been re-purposed and improved for the home console. It arrived in North America in mid-October, though publisher Mobot Studios has now pinned down a European release date.
It'll hit the EU on 13th November, with prices set to be the equivalent of the $7.99 asking price in the US; it's listed as £5.49 on the UK eShop. We enjoyed this one in our Paper Monsters Recut review, saying the following as we awarded it 8/10:
Mobot Studios clearly put a lot of effort into this title, adding a new overworld and several new levels. The use of a physical controller as opposed to an iOS touch-screen makes Paper Monsters Recut the definitive edition of the game; though Paper Monsters Recut does unfortunately falter a bit technically, this lovingly crafted platformer is a fine addition to the eShop.

Its a fun game for families who want to play, but as someone who played this platformer, I can easily say this was easier than a Mario game. The level design wasn't aways hot either, but I feel for any younger kids or casual gamers this is a very fun time.
Looks like something I can enjoy with my kids, they love mario 3D world but its a bit beyond them at the minute too so we only get to play the first world levels over and over.
Nice little game. It crashed my Wii u once, though.
nice to see its comeing soon Id like to get it but Stelthinc 2 comes 1st when I have the space and cash. -Sed before but I enjoyed this game when i tryed it on a I-pad but hated the toch screen controls.
How much content is different from the mobile release?
@sinalefa - When you say "crashed" do you mean "froze"? I finally turned off the Quick Start menu, which I adored, b/c half the time I used it the tv screen would just say Wii U and never progress. And when I say half it was probably even more than that. I don't like to always have to power off my machine froze like that.
@WaveWarlock So you have NO interest in this game, that is your right. Still, no reason to slag off and diss the developers who have spent time and money on this game, and then taking a risk financially, bringing it to Wii U. Everyone has an opinion, but there is never a reason to negate and put down the amount of hard work developers put into creating their titles.
I personally hate COD, ever since Black Ops 2. However, I have and would never take away from the developers, the amount of time and hard work they have put into bringing their game to the public.

Yes, it froze during a buggy (as in the vehicle) level. Actually I never use the Quick Start Menu thing, and it only froze once after playing several hours. It kinda put me off a little from continuing, and then Cereza came and turned my Wii U in a Bayo machine. Probably after beating Bayo 2 I will go back to it.
Paper Monsters already supports icade might as well use that.
(People always seem to use it supports physical controls as a positive without actually checking whether the original does anyway).
