Was not sure how well this would play on the switch. As its designed as a Wii U game that used the touch screen of Wii U controller to draw gestures to switch between wonderful weapons.
On the switch you can use the touch screen so this works well. When dock the game it is still playable as you can make the gesture using the controllers ( not as easy to control , but after a bit of practice its playable, this is the only little let down in the game design)
But what makes this game so wonderful is the absolutely wonderful gameplay it’s just fun all the time. The characters, enemies and environment are so will designed and look great (it put most modern games to shame) It’s so satisfying and fun to fight and smash the enemies and the environment. Once you get used to switching between each Wonderful one’s weapon it becomes interesting to use each weapon that best eliminates the enemy.
The story is also fun with excellent music and sound effects, and the voice acting is just absolutely wonderful really adds to fun.
It’s just a really fun fun game to play. Small learning curve to control weapons but after that it’s just great fun times.
Note; this game originally used the second screen of the Wii U, to provide extra game play input and information. With this version it’s possible to hide this screen as it now an overlay. However, for some missions you need this screen visible to complete the objectives.
Decent game from back in the day and a pretty competent port. If you weren’t a fan of the original the port won’t change that.
Purchased this for my son for xmas . Great delivery time and despatch time. Good price as well.
I played this on its original home of the Nintendo Wii U, and i think using the Wii U’s touch screen to draw the ‘unite-morphs’ (weapon and actions selection) was alot easier. Now, you have to use the right thumb stick to draw the required actions, and it can be quite frustrating and fiddly at first. Once you have this nailed down though, it becomes alot easier and a lot more enjoyable.
All in all, i absolutely adore this game and i am overjoyed that it has got this second chance to find a new audience.
Its not for everybody, mind but if you are looking for something a little bit different and unique and a whole lot of crazy, insanely over the top fun, then look no further.
A future classic and one of Platinums best work ever.
Un gioco da avere, porting della versione per wii u.
Deserves a wider audience!
