Wonderful 101 (WiiU) review

[EvilBoris]

Been playing this since i rushed to finish Pikmin as i knew it was due. All i can say is if you plan to get this to play off TV i would not bother. Frustrating does not begin to describe the use of the right thumb stick to draw. i can't fathom why they decided to remove the touchscreen drawing when playing off screen.

So you could draw when you were playing on TV?

That starts to explain why it was ****

And yet they are more trustable than most sources, the fact 4 people review the game together which is a better system than over here. Sure their 40's are a lot more common than they used to be but they are usually pretty accurate with what games are good & what are not.

Agree with this. And as someone that pretty much only plays Japanese games I usually find their scores helpful.

I learned the other day that they only gave Pok?mon Ruby and Sapphire 34 out of 40 though - unimpressed. lol

Reading the tutorials really helps at times Boris...

Try drawing slower - because of the furious nature of the action it feels like you need to make the shapes as quickly as possible, but 'tis not so. Slowing down & making them more methodically works wonders.

It does look immense. Saur is one of a kind - seriously talented. You get people that practise games and get good at them over time, but Saur is in an entirely different class, it's talent. Met the guy once (he modded my gamecube way back!) - such a lovely dude. Didn't realize he had videos online!

Rayman and this will be my next purchases! Cant wait

Its nice too see he's still around and playing games. Used to like watching his launch day DMC vids as much as playing the games myself, they guys some sort of wizard, seriously a wizard!

Loving this, finding the controls a lot better and easier compared to the demo. Might be i've just got used to them, but not experienced any problems drawing the shapes with either the right analogue stick or touch screen (expect maybe the hammer). Has plenty of laughs as can be expected from PlatinumGames

Played the demo of this a few weeks back, then my mate bought the full game on release and we had a good session last week on his CRT. It's so gorgeous that an hour or so into it I paused it and persuaded him to go buy an LCD - which he did - then we carried on.

I love it. I preferred using the right analogue to drawing on the screen(hammer is tricky, though) as I didn't have to release my hand from the controller. I did find myself often getting lost among the action and just mindlessly bashing buttons to hit enemies, though.

The graphics are lovely. I like the humour as well, and the cut scenes are groovy.

It made me want a Wii-U. I won't be getting one any time soon (region locking being among the reasons) but I really did feel like I was missing out by not owning one.

Nope.

[dataDave]

I'm disappointed.

['Press Start']

I would if I had a Wii U

[neoboy259]

I will be when it's sub-?20, which will be in roughly 2 weeks I reckon.

I've had a quick half an hour on it so far, but am hoping to get some more time on it soon.
