I bought this. It's still a package of multiple good games that costs about the same as a regular VC title.

I can't see this being any different than Hyrule Warriors when longevity in the charts is concerned, but it's a solid debut for the game nonetheless. Hopefully a few people bought the Wii U to play this!

Glad to hear this Shantae game is as tight as it's prequels.

I would have got this but now I will wait for the Wii U version unless I get impatient which hopefully won't be an issue with all the other games I need to buy in the coming months!

Can't wait, it looks awesome!

Finally a release date is nigh!

I would have preferred an actual smart phone app but alas it's still good news.

At that price I can't pasx up Abyss!

It will happen. It may not even get announced and Sledgehammer games won't even speak about the Wii U version in future, but come November 4, magically the Wii U version will launch alongside the other versions. The game will also be handled by Treyarch on Wii U. This cycle has repeated itself the last 5 games in the Call of Duty series and across both the Wii and now the Wii U.

"Coming to Playstation 4, Playstation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, ios and PC"!!!!! Wait am I on Nintendolife or Push Square?

Ok I'm already sold on this.

It's a good idea as it's probably the Wii U game with the most mass market appeal but I would like to see some real effort behind this!

Wait so I need my original Wii around to be able to complete the transfer?

Everyone needs to support the hell out of this game. Not only is such a game a rarity on Nintendo hardware but the developers taking the time and effort to tune the game for Wii U when bigger 3rd parties wouldn't even think twice about ignoring us is why this game deserves to sell!

I loved this game on my SNES so I'm quite happy at this announcement.

If the Wii U version gets a good review then I will be all over it! I would love a good Transformers game!

I actually just backed this game and then came here and saw this article. It looks fantastic!

Finally coming to Australia but I can't afford it this week. Oh well, next week I will get it hopefully but I also want some GBA VC on the Wii U.

DICE may have been trying to make a joke but it's pretty poor all round.

I can smell a kickstarter coming and can envision my wallet being used.

Here here!

It truly made me say wow when I first saw it!

I can't wait for this. Have been excited for it since it's successful kickstarter. Glad a new mid 2014 date has finally been announced.

Nice update but it came too late. I earned all the stars and rainbowed everything!

I backed the game because if it was coming to eshop next week I would buy it.

$15 pledged!

EA are still waiting on a big pay out by Nintendo to make a certain amount of 3rd oarty titles akin to tge $100 million deal signed on the Gamecube.

I just put in on briefly and the update had insatlled but I didn't notice any differences!

Oh darn, I expected it to be bad but disappointed nonetheless!

Thanks for the review NL! Will pick this up!

Nintendo really need to expand in the area of downloadable cards. In Australia they are still very difficult to get and the ones you see are eshop cards with Wii and 3DS logo's with no mention of Wii U. This is something relatively easy for Nintendo to solve and the only signs they are taking this seriously is Gamev UK's selection of downloadable cards.

I have done my part - I bought all three DS games, the Wiiware one, LOS:MOF on 3DS as well as all available VC games on Wii and of couse Super Castlevania IV on Wii U. Gimme LOS2 and I would buy it in a heartbeat!

I picked up the Hanafuda cards for 3000 points. I have 2100 points left and about 8-10 games I have yet to register which I plan on doing in time gor the Luigi diorama! Finally we Aussies get some decent stuff. Too bad I missed out on the Luigi coin though!

Really fun game and $13 in Australia is a decent price for it which makes it more surprising that it costs $15 in the U.S. Usually a U.S price point of $15 would mean a $20 price here!

This is a no brainer and should happen. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet!

The Pokemon games have been really hard to get in Australia since launch, infact the stores I frequent I have yet to see a copy!

Give me a Galaxy All Stars HD for Wii U and I would pay!

Oh man, I got excited for nothing. I am sure South Korea's vast Nintendolife readerbase is happy though

Weird because I'm in Australia and couldn't find a game and thought the game must be searching in my country only!

I am loving the game. Nothing like I've ever played and it gets you immersed in the world really well!

Wow that is really impressive especially when that many soldiers were on screen with seemingly little effect on performance. It's great to see a game pushing the hardware like this!

I love this game and it never gets old for me! I actually owned a import copy before I owned the SNES!

Awesome...FINALLY!!

At this point I don't understand why Activision even bothers releasing a Wii U version considering there is no sign of the pre-order bonus, unlikely to be DLC and they barely even acknowledge a Wii U version exists.

Honestly this isn't a big deal because everyone should get the physical copy. Here in Australia the eshop version is $79.95 yet I bought it at retail for $68 which obviously included the Wii Remote+ as well as the Gamepad stand!

I'm much more excited for Namco Museum which is still scheduled to release later this year. I have heard nothing but good things about Pacman CE!

I finally bought the game last week and it's excellent! Image&form deserve all the success they have achieved and more!

Honestly I don't believe them but if indeed the story mode has been expanded and the gamepad features are more than just mapping weapons on the touch screen then I will be happy to be wrong!

I've got my hands full for the rest of the year with lots of games, so I don't mind it slipping into early next year to be honest!

@Emblem - Yeah it's full priced but it doesn't have any microtransations from what I've read.

I love this game. I look forward to upgrading my Wii version when the Wii U version hits PAL territories!
