The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 Will Be Opening On Wii U Next Week

But...Nordic Games though...that's putting me off!

Anyone played the first one? I hadn't heard of this at all...

I've it pre ordered months ago. You can buy it from here for very cheap:

It's alright to provide links like that? I got it for just under €18 including delivery when there was a promotion on. UK postage is free of course.

@SanderEvers The original is already on Wii U? I had no idea.

This sounds quite promising ,I used to like point and click games,Broken Sword 2 being my favourite. I always got frustrated with them though as some puzzles would be ridiculous.This one was criticised on Push Square for its puzzles being a bit too basic compared to the old ones,so to me that's a positive. I look forward to seeing how it reviews on NL.

@OorWullie No I think he means he's bought the sequel on Wii U but won't play it when it arrives until he's beaten the original on PC. The first game isn't on Wii U.

The first one is only on PC, when is it coming to Wii U or some other console?

Well it's definitely coming to eShop on 7th June in Europe. If you do a search on eShop by entering 'Wii U', it will list upcoming games including this. Terraria is down for 9th June.

I search like this regularly to check for upcoming eShop releases.

The first one was strong meh, with weak puzzles, dead horses and morronic ending. The prequel was better but was pathetically short (around 5hrs).
Sequel is better, with most jokes working, but on PC it was pretty crash prone. Most characters in the first were cringe worthy, but at times the cringe is 100 times bigger to the point of unbearable, like idiotic "depression" (or some really unoriginal "twists" or plot points). It's also pretty long, but that's because beginning is boredom. The ending is cancer, because there is no ending, it's setup for another one.

Kind of short on point and click, but love the genre, so pre-ordered this a while back.

Talk about something out of the blue. Looks pretty cool; I'll wait for reviews, but I'm leaning towards getting it.

There's actually a lot of Wii U games coming out next month... mostly the only Wii U games though.

I remember passing on the first Book of Unwritten Tales when it first came out because it seemed to rely entirely too much on forth wall breaking and lampshade hanging, felt like the joke had been run into the ground before I had even played the game (this was all based off promotional stuff though, so it's possible that it might of just been iffy marketing giving me the wrong idea about the game). The first trailer for the sequel in the article naturally wasn't winning me over as a result of that, but hey, the actual in-game trailer seems pretty alright. Could be good?

Whoa! Never heard of it but I love PaC games! Ill buy this for sure!

I've not played the first but I'll check this game out anyway looks fun plus it's something new too play on the Wii U.

I used to enjoy monkey island on PC so I am interested to try this genere again on Wii U. Hopefully it will utilize the gamepad and not the wiimote

It looks kinda cool maybe. But I hate when they put the 2nd game on but not the first. That's happened absolutely too much with the WiiU and I'm sick of it. The only one who pulled through and put the first game was Frozenbyte with Trine.

@Rumorlife It's true what you wrote about Trine. But the original Trine didn't come first on Wii U. When the sequel sold well on Wii U they then ported the original to Wii U. Give these guys a chance, if The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 sells well, they might port the original game as well. They deserve some credit, how many games are coming out on Wii U? Then, how many of them have taken a chance on making a physical retail copy? I'll gladly support a company that's making a genuine effort and helping to support the Wii U. Lord knows, there's not many of them.

Which reminds me of Trine 3. I wonder will this come to Wii U? It didn't review well, they could make a Director's Cut port and implement some improvements.

I have the first one on PC but never played it. Then got the second on ps4 - I loved it, played to platinum. It's really funny and you don't need background on the first game as everything is explained and introduced to you so you understand what's happened before.

I would get it if I hadn't completed it. Wonder if they will put the second screen to use? Nordic do good point and click games as they own 'the adventure company' who make quite a few of them

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I'm well aware of the Trine situation. That's why I mentioned them being the only ones haha. I'm pretty sure it'll end up coming to the WiiU unless time clocks out on the systems, it'll probably appear on the NX. I can't imagine they'd skip out after the success the other 2 games had. It didn't review horribly, I thought it was more like not better than Trine 2, but close to how T1 reviewed. I've not played it yet though.

@Captain_Gonru "I always enjoyed point and click games"

Well that explains you thinking Twister Racer is a good game.

Anyway - finished up Flash and Arrow, and they both met my highly demanding seal of approval. Sure ignoring a nuke going off outside of DC and killing tens of thousands is ridiculous, and Oliver never once worried about not being able to say goodbye to his son, but I never liked Laurel, and since she stayed dead, I'm willing to trade all of those going away for her. And my wife reminded me his kid is off to parts unknown. And Flash is Flash, Cisco Ramone is the star, all the rest is just there to give him something to riff on and give 3 pop culture references and 1 4th wall breaking per week. He's replaced Jon Stewart for me.

@Captain_Gonru Well I just hope they don't go all Spiderman 3 on Barry, Tobey Maguire was horrible at playing it bad. Though Barry coudl do it better I'm sure.

Now that I'm thinking about it, not sure if you watched it, but it seemed like half the Smallville episodes were colored kryptonite making Kent do bad things. After 2 seasons I can't recall Barry taking advantage of his superpowers for less than righteous purposes. Might be time for cocky Barry, following on overconfident Barry. But no, I didn't know about the comics, but killing a time image of yourself has to have repercussions too. And I like the wraiths, they need to always be around.

@Captain_Gonru The only thing worse than kyrptonite is time travel, so I kind of washed that entire Vandal Savage arc out of my mind. It was all just an obvious set up for DC Legends anyway that I didn't really take any of it seriously. B/c once you start using time travel, there's no turning back. You know how I feel about the nuke. But Barry should just go back and stop the original reactor meltdown. Sure it kills Flash, but would it be worth it to get rid of all the metahumans? At the end of season 6 of DBZ Goku dies, and they want to wish him back w/ the dragonballs, but he tells them not to, b/c everybody trying to destroy the earth is really doing it to destroy him, so he sacrifices himself to make Earth save. Barry could do the same.

Time travel is worse than kryptonite, and Vandal Savage was just awful. I do look forward to the mutliverse expansion. I never read DC but infinite earths was always interesting from afar.

@Captain_Gonru "oh good, said no one"

Seriously, the flashbacks in season 1, 2 and 3 were some of my favorite parts of the show, this season was pointless as it was just season 1 and 2 compressed into 1. I may even stop watching after next season b/c they have to end. And don't worry, Oliver is manly, he'll grow that hair and beard in about 3 days. What kind of man gets sworn in as mayor w/o shaving first, the mayor of a hippie commune?

"Egyptian (who, along with Carter, is somehow white)"

You mean like Jesus, the middle eastern jew? Didn't read the comics so had no prior knowledge of Savage, but I know Hunter seemed a lot better in the comics - I googled him. Things always get lost in translation.

You ever watch Daredevil on Netflix, he was more my thing growing up, but I dont have Netflix, and when I did I watched Jessica Jones instead, which was really good.

@Captain_Gonru "Honkies be crazy."

Next time I get Netflix (hey that rhymes, or something) I'll watch DD. That Ben Affleck movie left a deep and lasting wound. I never even watched the Electra film, and she's one of my favorites. I'd sign up for NF for an Electra series. Wasn't sure how well they'd handle her in DD.

I saw this yesterday at a supermarket for 19,95€
