Having owned every version of this game released in NA I have to say this doesn't look bad at all. While I prefer the more ridged, pixel look of the original I wouldn't say the Android version looks bad at all. I will probably pick it up after I finish Dimensions. I would have preferred them to give it the same treatment they gave III and IV on the DS/Android with a 3D overhaul.
I played Knytt a few years ago as a free pc game and was charmed by the exploration and the atmosphere. Knytt Underground is similar but has much more traditional platforming mechanics. This game carries over much of the casual exploration but there is a lot more danger to overcome using abilities which wasn't a part of the original. A score of 10 being a perfect game, I would say that a 7 isn't bad at all. If this sounds like your kind of game then it probably is.
This game should really be experienced on a PC if you have one but is there a good reason not to release it on the WiiU? I would get it even though I already have it on the PC just because it would be cool to use the game pad controller.
I think that maybe just not enough people are familiar with the greatness that is Monster Hunter. It should have more votes if people knew what they were missing, though I do plan to get every game that was mentioned here.
Cloudberry Kingdom and NSMBU are the two reasons I bought a Wii U at launch. I was disappointed not to see it in the eShop. I hope it comes out soon. I was planning on it keeping me busy until Monster Hunter Ultimated came out.
What a great idea. Their incredible sprite work and history with games like Shantae and Aliens for the DS makes me think the developers are perfectly well suited to make a classic style 2d Metroid that I have been craving since the release of Metroid IV for the Advance. I had high hopes for Other M and because of that I was ultimately dissapointed. I know they would do a great job with the game. They are one of my favorite developers.

This is a new Shante game that just came out, not the old DSi title which has been on Steam, but only for a couple of months btw.

Re: The Wii U CPU Is "Horrible" According To Metro: Last Light Developer
it is just as well. 4A doesn't have anything I would wish to buy on any system.
