Re: Review: Jewel Quest (Wii U eShop)

@nessisonett The "golden tile" goal to clear a level is a much more difficult task than simply "earn x many points before the time runs out", so it stands out a bit more than the other Match-3.

@Windy The game definitely isn't bad, and the controls are tight on the Wii U. I agree that it would be more suited to the 3DS, though (especially since it's coming from the mobile scene where shorter games thrive).

Re: Review: Pumped BMX+ (Wii U eShop)

@gcunit I was hesitant about it being a mobile game first, but it feels more like an arcade indie game than an iOS game. It's got enough polish and utilizes the controller well enough that it feels substantial.

@arronishere Have you checked out a trailer? I know graphics preferences can be personal, but seeing them in action is better than a still image. Especially in the later levels where there's a lot more going on.

Re: Review: Onimusha Tactics (Wii U eShop / GBA)

@MikeW It really depends on what you're going for. I mentioned that Onimusha Tactics is stripped down in comparison to FFT (and TTFA by proxy). If you're looking for a fun/decent TRPG then Onimusha is pretty straightforward. FFTA has more rules and complexities to it.

Both are fun, though, so it's just a personal choice on how you want to play.

@Wiidsguy The music was pretty good, so I apologize for not mentioning it. One thing that I had an issue with was that the music reset upon death, so on some particularly hard levels I heard the first 10 seconds of the song over and over. That's just a game design issue, and nothing wrong with the music.
As for my progress, I made it to World 3, unfortunately not the whole game completed.

@Virus The concept for the game is really fun, and although some of the levels are crazy hard, they're quite unique and some are quite clever. There are just too many bugs, small gripes, and of course the constant spinning, that really detract from the overall experience.

@Neko_Rukiafan I did mention several glitches, lack of visual polish, and an overly frustrating difficulty, however the nausea didn't seem to be isolated to just me. I had friends and family take a look at the trailer and the game itself, and it was a consensus across the board that the spinning camera made it difficult too play for too long.

@Hero-of-WiiU Who knows. I haven't tried out any Virtual Reality. If you check out the game trailer for this game (on this page) you can see the spinning camera that I mention makes me feel queasy.
