ZaciSa's Last Stand was a product of the Nintendo Web Framework, an initiative that aimed to assist in the porting of flash games to the Wii U. The Nintendo Web Framework has divided opinion because while it does mean that virtually anybody can develop games for Nintendo's console, this also leads to many low quality games appearing on the eShop and supposedly "muddling" the marketplace. Case in point, ZaciSa's Last Stand received a 4/10 from us, with the main complaint being how absolutely monotonous and unexceptional the gameplay seemed.
Perhaps in an effort to positively change opinions of the game, ZeNfA Productions has announced the details of an upcoming patch that will add and tweak the game further. The changes are as follows:
- Further Improvements to the gameplay performance.
- Up to 9 players can control a Drone now! This includes the person on the Wii U GamePad as well as extra controller support like Wii Classic Controller, Pro Controller and 2 people can use a Wii Remote & Nunchuk combo!
- Drones now can fire rockets at enemies! The game has a bit more action to it. Each drone will also have a new look
- Even AI-controlled Drones will be able fire rockets, with setting of how often.
- Rockets do cost money, so will be powerful per shot.
- Two new maps! Both will be focused on the local Drone multiplayer. One of the maps will also be another Wii U indie crossover map! Like my BLOK DROP U and PING 1.5+ maps, this one will be interactive as well.
- Miiverse Stamps! There will be at least 8 stamps for the game in the update. Will act as a sort of Award/Achievement system
- Can now save your progress and resume at later date!
The patch is due out sometime this winter, so expect it sometime in late 2015 or early 2016.
What do you think? Will this help correct some of ZaciSa's Last Stand's flaws? What did you think of the game? Drop us a comment in the section below.

@Pahvi it doesnt have any character like the aformentioned games either, or solid mechanics.
Good news!! The game is great but simplistic so anything that adds some more variety and interesting options just keeps it fresh and interesting still.
Great to see a developer so committed to makeing the most of their game....
Here is a perfect example of a framework that anyone can program games on which is included with the download of Nestalgia. http://silkgames.com/nestalgia/
This would be an awesome game for 3DS or Wii and Nintendos Framework. I would love to see it on 3DS cause it would show the 3DS is capable of Running a full fledged MMORPG even though it's Classic Graphics it would bring back those memories of Dragon Quest and classic RPg's which you could spend time with your friends on. I think something like this would be an absolute hot seller for the Eshop..
@Windy Thanks, now I want an MMORPG on the 3DS.
This is good news. The game is what it is, a simple tower defense game, but the continued updates, the crayon coloring look, and now some multiplayer make this great for the price I paid. I play this a lot when watching sports
I'm sure people will love this new update. Among other things, the game will have some bit of action to it now.
I bought game when it release and I've been enjoying it loads!,
This update sounds awesome!
@Captain_Gonru I completely agree with you , the last update added alot to the title and now this update seems to be another awesome update which will add alot to the title I really like this game and its great to see the developers still working with and adding to this title they have definitely made the purchase of this title seem well worth it in my eyes , I would go as far as to say this title really should get an UPDATED REVIEW on this site it is definitely not the game it was when I first purchased it .
@Bloodix sounds good to me, thanks for the extras!! =)
@Mus1cLov3r I think Neastalgia would be awesome. Of course the 3DS is more than capable though. They have been playing Dragon Quest X on 3DS in Japan for quite sometime now. Ridiculous Square won't bring Dragon Quest X West. I don't know what's up with Square. I think they wait and wait to see if Nintendo will publish their games.
@Windy Yeah, and the whole "Let's just wait for Nintendo to publish our games" thing clearly isn't working, if that's the case.
@Mus1clov3r it just seems these day when a square game gets localized Nintendo is the one Publishing the game for them. it seems to be like this ever since Dragon Quest IX. im just wondering whats up with square. they must make all kinds of money on the Android and iOS markets. I am pretty Bitter towards them because of the whole Dragon Quest situation but I will be right there buying Final Fantasy Explorers when that releases in January
@Windy Most of their games on the App Store are, like, $20, so I'm sure they make a good bit there.
(Should we really be so off-topic? We could start a thread, if you'd like to continue the conversation. )
On topic though, this game sames pretty fun, despite the low score.
@Mus1cLov3r I think I've said enough. I would like to apologize to everyone for getting so off topic. I tend to do that from time to time. Nice talking with you @Mus1clov3r
The game actually did kinda get a re-review with the EU release: https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu-eshop/zacisa_defense_of_the_crayon_dimensions (since it contained a lot more stuff over the original NA release)
I'm glad that people enjoy the game. I take price in working on extras for the game. This update shall make the game even more exciting and fun IMO.
@Bloodix
Is this update still planned?
I dig 8-player games!
@cyrus_zuo Yep! I had the game in lotcheck but it had some issues (luckily enough small), so I'll be re-submitting soon. Not too long now.
