@SuperCharlie78 Sure kid, no trolling at all. "2016 will be a massacre", lol. Honestly, I love my PS3, but such brand loyalty must be unhealthy, surely. Just joking, of course, whatever floats your boat, man. Ciao!
Nice to hear some positive news, for once, but seriously, for the WiiU to keep selling with only few (albeit great) games, is something short of a miracle. I noticed there is some kind of balance on the type of games on the chart though, over there. Not all are violent/war shooters, at least -sigh. read comments - Nothing attracts trolls like a good old positive article, I see, lol.
Played this and Sacred Stones to death, shame about no online on this, would have bought it again just for that. I suppose with the WiiU userbase it wouldn't have made much sense, though.
@Duggie_Brown Couldn't have said it better. Small studios are gonna get eaten or disappear, sooner or later, the way things are going. Better the devil you know, in this case.
I too have fond memories of Sunshine. I think with that one, although not perfect, they found the right balance between open-worldliness (!) and 3D platforming gameplay, one that, imo, couldn't even be found in the -arguably better, at least technically- 2 Galaxy games.
Excellent, can't come soon enough! And I really recommend it to anyone who likes exploring and customize in games (so to all the inner childs like me, really).
So make something completely open-ended and creative, probably THE most creative game ever made, into something linear and story-driven? I'd prefer the other way round, thanks.
Still a nice surprise move, though (bringing something MC-related to Wii U, I mean).
I loved T1 and T2, thought they were too short, simply because I enjoyed them very much and didn't want to end. I would definitely get it if T3 arrived on Wii U eshop.
@Timppis Whatever makes you sleep at night, my friend. And I'm not even in the slightest the conspiracy guy, I did see some of the effects electricity pylons had on the health of people living in houses directly under it for decades, in Italy. But this isn't the place for these discussions, so I leave you in peace.
Was wondering about this game, haven't heard anything before, thanks for the review.
Oh, and sorry but "Some players will certainly have some fun this game.". Shouldn't it be "...WITH this game"?
@Tisteg80 Thanks for the info! Well, apparently they already done a bunch of updates, so...let's hope, anyway. If not, we'll pester them until they do! XD
@erv I can tell you, from my 30+ years of gaming, that I've seen much, much worse. I bought it and enjoyed every minute of it, once you get the hang of the thrust-like controls, it's actually quite addictive. It reminded me of some C64/Amiga games too, that's probably why I liked it so much.

Re: Analysts Wonder If Super Mario Can Save Nintendo
@Olmectron ...or if I'm at the controller. As I grow older, I'm becoming rubbish at platformers.
