@SamirMalik Yes, the reviewer states that she prefers the gamepad. I agree that there are too many cons but doing it with the sticks do not much better - the game has poor recognition. period. She is not the one reviewer criticizing the control.
@SamirMalik Just because you are good at certain things with the game does not mean that the game has no problem. In contrast to what Thomas Whitehead thinks, most reviewers think that the game has severe control issues, most on changing from one form to another. The video that you posted simply hide the problem with the game - the player did not even attempt to change from one form to another. You should look at more objective review of the game here:
Thomas like to applaud Nintendo's game even though other sites think the same game sucks. As long as the game is from Nintendo, he will habitually gives one or two points more.
@sc100 Game and Wario is supposed to be the game bundled with Wii U. My guess is that even Nintendo thinks that the game was bad. Therefore, they later decided to bundle Wii U with Nintendoland. Game and Wario definitely does not worth over 20 bucks. It should be around 5 bucks or so.
@sc100 Trust me, Game and Wario has only one (or two) good minigames out of 15 or 16. It is like a whole bunch of free Android minigames packaged into one game.
@SamirMalik No, I finished that game long time ago, so i don't suck in playing that game. Instead, the drawing mechanism does not work ∼ it has difficulty recognizing Z from S, for example.
In contrast of Thomas' view, I think that Sega made plenty of excellent Sonic platformers lately - Generations, and especially Colours and Lost World. Thomas made his own view that lately all sonic games are bad, and he does not realise that its view is not shared by all other professional reviewers. Obviously, his view is not shared by other reviewers who gave Lost World an excellent score (including but not limited to the prestigious Famitsu magazine in which each game is rated by three independent reviewers.
@wazlon You are right. Actually I seldom use boosting when playing those sonic games. I actually like spin-dashing as in Lost World. Lost World does not have boosting, and I feel having much tighter control of Sonic as a consequence.
I am smelling that the this game will be better than the whole game of Mario Tennis Super Smash - at least the game will not have big mushroom to enlarge a character to the entire screen and block the view of the ball.
@ThomasBW84 i think that there is improvement in Nintendolife's reporting standard. Instead of saying Lost World is objectively bad in previous posts, Nintendolife says it falls short according to the writer's standard, implicitly acknowledging that it has received very good reviews from other sites. Congratulations! You have become one step closer to be a more professional writer! A big improvement!
A unified platform is perfect - it alleviates Nintendo's resources to create games for two different platform. There isn't as many good games on Wii U as in 3DS.
Everything about this game (including Forensic Detective) is good except Diagnosis. Diagnosis is preventing me to keep playing this game to see the final stage and the ending.
This game shows that you do not need fancy graphics to make a good game.
@Lord Even Mario Maker is not as fun as it should... Theoretically it is fun but it turns out that I did not spend a lot of time into playing that game. Too many bad levels in the maker game.
@Zelkardaim Don't worry. I played Splattoon and found that without voice chat, I feel like I am playing all by myself even though I was playing online. It was like trying to paint as much as you can and then see what happens at the end.
Wii Fit U as 15th? The problem in that game is that those supposedly fun exercises are not fun after a week or two, leaving players lack of motivation to continue playing the game.
This is an example that the developer is not thinking properly. Why don't the Wii U version include motion control as in the Wii version? Who does not have a wiimote if you are a Wii U owner?
@andreoni79 Nintendo probably decided to curb privacy by including a small size internal flash drive, but what you may do is to delete existing games to download Fatal Frame. You may keep the save states. If ypu want to play those games you can download again without losing the save states.
I will buy this game if Nintendo makes a boxed version of the game. The eshop price of the game is even higher than the (usually slightly discounted) price of the boxed version of a game. I actually like the game as it has a flair of Asian type of creepiness in it. In Asia, water occurs a lot in horror movies.
@RainbowGazelle I play 2D Mario games just to waste time... it is indeed extremely downright uninspiring in its recent entries. The surprising thing to me is that people let it get by and keep buying it. There are so many better platformers such as Gunman Clive, Rayman Origins, Sonic Lost World...
@JaxonH The recent not good one is only Sonic Boom, which is not even made in-house. Alien: Isolation sells crazy and is regarded as one of the best horror games made recently, but the game is not on Wii U and thus you do not know.
Isn't Wii U supposed to outside Dreamcast, given that Wii U has lived longer than Dreamcast AND world population outnumber the same period of Dreamcast?

Re: Sega Has Some "Interesting" Sonic News For Us Next Month
@mjc0961 I never understand why people say that recent sonic games are all no good. Generations is good, but not as good as the more recent ones.
Re: Sega Has Some "Interesting" Sonic News For Us Next Month
@WireWare I am expecting: Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Amiibo Ultra Festival, Made in Mario, and Devil Fourth.

Re: Feature: Why We're Still Playing... Bayonetta 1 & 2
I have not purchased the game because of Wonderful 101 - the control does not work in W101, no matter how Thomas says otherwise.

Re: Nintendo Life Weekly: New 2016 Sonic Game Hinted, NX Release Predictions and More
@wazlon It has the boost mechanic although it takes time to get used to.

Re: Rumour: SEGA Teases More Information for Sonic's 25th Anniversary
@MarioPhD Don't worry. I don't think the next sonic game will be as embarrassing as Mario Tennis Super Smash or Amiibo Festival.
Re: Rumour: SEGA Teases More Information for Sonic's 25th Anniversary
Sonic Lost Universe!

Re: SEGA Reveals the Logo for Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th Anniversary
Sonic Color and Sonic Lost World are the two best sonic games to me. Sega should make Sonic Lost World 2.
Re: Freedom Planet 2 Announced and in Development, With a 'Nintendo' Release on the Agenda
@bitleman You are out of your mind. Freedom Planet is no match to Sonic.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th December (North America)
@Crono1973 Right on. Super Mario Galaxy actually has camera angle problem.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th December (North America)
Is Nintendo thinking about NX already and starts ignoring their Wii U loyal customers?

Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos (Wii U eShop / NES)
Ninja Gaiden - Japanese version - is the best and is just about right in difficulty. Ninja 2, however, was extremely difficult, with spawning enemies.

Re: Wayforward Developer Discusses Shantae's Status as a Mascot, DLC is a possibility for Half-Genie Hero
@WaveGhoul People who think that sonic is too hard to control never think that why everyone else can control it but they could not.
Re: Wayforward Developer Discusses Shantae's Status as a Mascot, DLC is a possibility for Half-Genie Hero
Shantae is an okay platformer game. Anything special? No.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival (Wii U)

Re: Review: Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (Wii U)
Nintendo is making new low. I thought the worst was Made in Wario (but at least it has one fun minigame - Gamer) but this is actually worse.
Re: Feature: Our Top 10 Wii U Retail Games - Third Anniversary Edition

Re: Nintendo Is Unique, Different And Does Its Own Thing, Says Xbox Marketing Boss
Nintendo does things differently than Xbox One. That is why my xbox one is collecting dust as there aren't many good games there.
Re: Video: Take a Look at This Super Mario Mod for Sonic Generations
Looks really good. Sega should consider porting Mario to Sonic games. I am sure that Nintendo fans will like it.

Re: Sega: Recent Sonic Games Haven't Been "Acceptable", Looking To Replicate The Past In Future Outings
@liljmoore I agree with your list except Sonic Heroes. The control sucks in that game and what was the point of having teams in that game.
