Also noteworthy about Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, the Wii U version has the online shop integrated, which means some unique items (like elysian whip) are available and makes the game much easier because of good weapons available to buy!
The Wii U was such a weirdly unique system and I'm sad that I wasn't able to afford one until the end of its lifespan. I only have a few games for it, and hopefully with this and other people's recommendations on the digital eShop front I'll be able to nab at least a few more before the eShop closes. Thanks for your recommendations!
Yes, agreed, the Wii U is incredibly unique. I see its problems, but I gotta say, I love this weird system. Glad to be able to show you some games worth getting before they close the eshop, Callogan! Thank you so much for watching and leaving this comment!
Appreciate the hard work you do. Never would've known some of these games exist because there is almost no information out for some. Looking forward to seeing what else you bring out from the Void!
I was tempted to get one but somehow it didn't appeal to me also the thing wasn't region free there were a lot of exclusives on the Wii u that most gamers couldn't play.
You: "Maiden of Black Water is missing one important feature on newer releases..." Me: "Ah, yes. The Samus and Zelda costumes." You: "The Wii U gamepad camera" Oh yeah, that is a really interesting aspect of the game. It's upsetting that the definitive way to play the game is going to be lost, especially with no US physical copies existing.
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon on Wii U also has "online" content is that much easier to access on Wii U than on DS. The Wii U is patched so you buy equipment without having to recreate the old network settings to connect to the internet on the DS.
You should absolutely cover the Silver Falls games! There are five on 3DS and two on Wii U, and they're all fantastic and unique games that will be gone soon! They're made entirely by one guy and massive labor-of-love games for the systems.
Also an honorable mention a little indie game called "I got to run" it was both on the 3DS and the Wii u. It was released around the time of the Iwata's passing and in his honor the proceeds from that game went to charity to fight cancer so I think that's definitely a title you need to download.
Wow, thats really cool. Did not know about I've Got to Run. Will give it a try and most likely feature it in my next video covering 3DS games! Thanks ladynikkie!
Really appreciate these videos! Yours are FAR more detailed and cover everything. So glad I found your channel! You’re helping us fans preserve history ❤️
@@FromTheVoidGames Question, After August 29th, Can you apply Eshop Cards to your Nintendo Switch account & transfer the funds to your Wii U account to purchase games until March 2023?
@@Universal035 Hi Universal035! Yes. any funds added to your switch account will be usable in your 3DS and Wii U as long as the accounts are linked. Thanks for watching! :D
As a goodbye to the eshop i purchased: 3ds Fire Emblem DLC, Phoenix Wright DLC, Rhythm Heaven megamix, Pocket Card jockey, Picross 3d and Sakura Samurai. Also Metroid Trilogy on WII U. Yeah Nintendo got me good.
Yeah, all the DLCs for both Fire Emblems alone already sum up to almost 100 bucks or so. But great picks all of them! You've got great taste clearly! Thanks for watching, Mark!
lol, yeah, I think that is the best out of the lesser known ones on the list for sure, so I had to put it front and center. Thanks for watching, The Lemony Bard!
Agreed! Another one that has great classic music in its soundtrack, but its copyrighted so I couldn't use it when I talked about it, are the Quell games, Quell Memento's specially. Thanks for watching! :D
Subscribed to your channel because your guides are so detailed & organized. Love went into these videos & it shows. I'm racing against time trying to get all of this stuff. On Wii U AND 3DS. Luckily I have most of the physical on Wii U & had a lot of them when they first came out. Game & Wario IS a special title no doubt. Not surprised to see people finally catch on as its price rises into the sky. I made sure to buy physical on Wii U even if Nintendo pushed digital. So my Wii U collection is more getting the indie digital stuff that's unique on Wii U. The 3DS is the one that's swamping me because until recently I didn't know I had Time Investment DLC!! WHAT?!? Got loads of 3DS stuff coming in the mail this week so these guides of yours will help me complete my collections.
Yes, all the Rhythm Heaven games are fantastic. I kind of recently got all of them and had a blast with each one. Thanks for watching Jennifer! Stay tuned for more soon!
Gotta love your content, i watched all the series about the eshop 3ds and WiiU games i discovered alot of cool games on it! your'e from Brazil? i can recconize that accent miles away
Another great list of hidden gems! I didn't even know there were so many Wii games on the Wii U eShop. Still need to try out Pandora's Tower, Rhythm Heaven Fever, Lost in Shadow and Sun & Punishment!! Also, I don't know if that "sink your teeth in" was intentional pun during the Pandora's Tower segment, but that cracked me up haha
Yeah, some of the best games on the Wii U eshop are Wii games, and most people are not aware of those. That was on purpose when I wrote it, yes, but I should have made it more apparent when doing the voice over, lol. Thanks for watching makreel!
Yes I'm in the same page. My favorite is Shadow Dragon. 1.-Shadow Dragon. 2.-Blazing Blade. 3.-Echoes. 4.-Awakening. 5.-Sacret stones. 6.-Revelation. 7.-Conquest. 8.-Birthright. (NGC & Wii never played.)
Very good video. Much more detailed than just put 10 random games together like so many other yutubers do. Made me buy Pandora's tower. Im also glad i bought Fatal Frame (or Project Zero like it's called here in germany) and Metroid Prime Trilogy physical for 50 Bucks each when they came out. I would also add Xenoblade Chronichles Wii and and X to the list.
Thank you so much, vorname nachname! This means a lot :D! Hope you like Pandora's Tower, its an unusual game, but I loved it! Also do note that at a later point you may feel like the game may freeze due a programing issue, but there is a sure way to avoid it, look this site up for more details: www.destructoid.com/psa-pandoras-tower-has-a-game-freezing-bug . thanks for watching!
Pandora tower looks definitely my genre except for the part where she eats that thing, damn. It’s 40€ where i live on wii and it has a black case that’s so cool
Im taking a look at your channel and its pretty awesome, lots of Wii U games reviewed and a lot more too. Will be watching many of those :D. Subscribed. Thanks for leaving a comment! Glad I could help in your Wii U catalogue knowledge :D.
great video, from this alone i added 4 games to my must buy list (breezeblox, knytt underground, rush and shuttle rush) none of which i'd heard of before
Yeah, it would be fantastic specially for Fatal Frame since its really expensive that one. Its possible cause I am seeing a few games go on sale. F-Zero X and a bunch of Capcom games are currently on sale, so lets hope!
You may want to check out 3souls and Year Walk, which are also interesting console exclusives. Also, Scram Kitty has a DX version on PS4 and Vita, although the Gamepad usage helps the Wii U original to retain its value
Thanks for the suggestions! I have 3souls downloaded, but havent tried it yet, but havent heard of Year Walk! Will take a look also! Yeah, I checked exlusivity during research, but missed scram kitty cause they changed the name for the PS4 and Vita versions. That tripped me up. Thanks for watching and leaving this comment! In case you are interested, check out the Virtual Console coverage I made recently if you havent yet! ruclips.net/video/kW3Cklmo8Ok/видео.html
Thanks for the video, there;s been at least 2 games I haven't known before. Been I did had my eye on Zombie Defense as well as Beatbuddy. I recomend cheking out both the Wii U and 3DS eShops since CAPCOM is having a sale. Games like Duck Tails and Monster Hunter are going for a cheap price.
Ooh, can’t wait to see what you’ve got here! The only games I found on the Wii U eShop that I wanted were all Virtual Console, so some more recommendations are much appreciated 👍. (Although, I’ll be honest, I’m focusing a lot of my attention to the 3DS eShop instead; so many great games I never knew about.)
I got my Wii U for my birthday back in July 2015 and I have loved it eversince. The only thing I regret is not buying eShop games in all this time I've owned it. I always bought the retail games at $60 a pop wich ended up ported on the switch anyway. I could have used all that money to instead get all these unique games. Now I have to work against time to get all these virtual console games!!
Me too, it took me a long time to start looking at the eshop offerings on the Wii U. I think they didn't advertise them well enough. Only about 2 years ago I started downloading some of them. But I still have a ways to go as well, too many great games. Im currently working on the Virtual console video which will be a huge list, so stay tuned for that soon (1st half of april). Thanks for watching, Angelo!
I know of all of these, and Affordable Space Adventures is the only one I have the slightest interest in (that I don’t already own). It’s too expensive to justify for me, but it’s a shame because I remember people speaking really fondly of it.
Yes, Affordable Space Adventures is a bit on the expensive side. its worth it though, for sure, and totally exclusive to the wii U. Lets hope they miraculously put it on sale before the eshop closes. Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames Thanks for making these videos by the way! My 3DS backlog is huge, and I’m actually not playing my Switch atm so that I can catch up with all the 3DS stuff I missed. Having a great time with it.
Thank you for putting this well explained video, I really appreciate your hard work and dedication. The Wii U is actually one of my favorite consoles. Till this day I still play it. The library of games are amazing from the NES to the Wii and some of these games are not even ported to the Switch, such a disappointment. The only complaint I have about the Wii U is the storage 32g is just not enough. Other that everything else is awesome.
My pleasure, the dark knight! Glad you enjoyed. Agreed, I also love my Wii U and have it hooked on at all times. I use it as my Wii, GBA, NES, Turbografx and N64 machine, as well as the Wii U hidden gems you saw here. It has amazing value that loads of people are not aware of and yeah, only issue is the storage, which I had to buy a dedicated external HD to fix, which sux, but it was worth it. I also dislike the fact that the gamepad has to have its own power outlet, I mean, a charger like the switch would have made it much better, but its a minor thing too. Excelent console regardless. Thanks for watching!
lol wow, that's an amazing coincidence :D. Dude, my Aurora is also insanely hyper, nonstop. Perhaps its a quality that comes with the name, we cursed ourselves. She sleeps super well though, thank God. And she is a darling, I should not complaint. Thanks for watching and leaving this comment, Jeremy, really apprecieated!
Blazing Blade is really good, I prefer BB over Awakening (but Awakening presentation is unbeatable.) But I belive that BB have better maps and is more heavily a strategy game that Awakening. Sacret stone is (Spoiler)... Basically a beta version of Awakening.
I feel like I know the WiiU very well, owning many of these titles but this list has some super deep cuts. Some games I’ve never heard of and I’ve had a WiiU since 2013.
Thank you so much, Mark! This is the whole purpose of my channel, to bring some highlight to lesser known games, so reading comments such as yours makes me really happy! Great catch about Scram Kitty, will add a correction to the description. Thanks for watching!
:DDD I am already trying, lol. Sometimes I give her a fake controler and she presses stuff and looks at the screen. Too young still, but will try my best, hope she likes games, lol.
Yeah, another viewer also pointed that out. I apologise. I have added a correction in the description for that. Thanks for watching, and am glad you enjoyed despite the mistake!
@@FromTheVoidGames We all make mistakes, and it's bound to happen from time to time when you make videos filled with so much information. I probably should have checked to see if there was already a correction as well, haha. Keep up the great work. :)
42:45 Wait you didn't played Echoes yet?.... 😳 ho my... Is a fantastic remake and adds a couple of new sections, the first is a tutorial in disguise and the other part is new and is introduced later in the story (worthy) 😌. The game don't follow the modern rules (There is no weapon triangle) and is based in the original game play from Gaiden but still feels like a Fire Emblem game. A great game that could've "gorgeous" with more cutscenes like Awakening instead of static pictures.
Oh, I hadn't in the beggining of this year, but now I have! Awesome game for sure! One of my favorite Fire Emblems. Its not easy for beginners, but for more seasoned players its a blast!
Yea project rainfall was all like -bring us the thee Big wii rpgs and se Will buy them!- and then they released them and they only bought xenoblade and ignores the last story and pandoras tower. I have the physical release of fatal Frame 5 , I actualy have 1,2,3 as but have never finished one of them 😅
Awesome, Fatal Frame in physical version would have made so much more sense, lol, its insane that the Americas didn't get it. Thanks for watching Dominic!
Great list. Never heard of some of them but definitely will be trying them out. Thank you for your time and hard effort to bringing this video to us gamers
weird no Mario Advance 4 Mario 3 is on the list because its the only way legally have access to all eReader Levels at once outside of Japan. Or Duck Hunt because that is the only way to play as intended without needing to buy an old TV
Hi M3rtyville, thanks for watching! I am making one video exclusively on Virtual Console, that's why those were not here. I do plan on featuring the shooting games from the NES that used the zapper and were translated to the wii motion controls, those are great value because of that. Will take a look at the GBA Marios too! The virtual console list is my next video on this series, so stay tuned! :D
Absolutely. DS and GBA games on the Wii U not on 3DS and several SNES games on the New 3DS model only... makes no sense. Nintendo is bananas. Thanks for watching!
Wait, Rhythm heaven fever is $90 now?!! I remember being it at a vintage stock for cheap, and I still have it. Geez, now I want to just hold on to every little game I have, cause I've gotten rid of a ton of games that ended up getting expensive later down the road
Yeah, games prices changed drastically since covid. Nowadays, if the game is good and either had limited print or was obscure at the time, chances are that its value will increase a lot with time. Rhythm Heaven Fever checks all those boxes :D Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames Yeah, I really wish I got Game and Wario now, I literally remember looking at it in Walmart and thinking about getting it. Oh well, you win some you lose some!
Thanks for the hard work you are doing here! Does anybody know if Shuttle Rush is a North America Wii U exclusive? I am based in Europe, and I can't find the game here. Thanks
Pedra looks cool too, will give it a try. On first glance it doesn't seem to be from same devs, different names. Thanks for watching and leaving these comments, esperago!
Compared to the 3Ds, these indie games, mostly, in the wii u really don’t interest me at all, the switch and all newer consoles are plagued of such games… let’s go back to the 3Ds shop.
I tried the demo for Chasing Aurora and was bored stiff. Ridiculously dull to the point that I really can't see the appeal. Removed it without any hesitation or regrets.
19:18 Simple, most people have never understood the Gamepad including most of the press (and specially IGN which gained the reputation of having terrible players) This is also the reason Star Fox Zero got so underappreciated as well (don't know why is not in this list)
True, the gamepad is a misunderstood device for sure. Zombi U and Star Fox Zero are not here for 2 reasons: firstly they both have cheap physical versions, and secondly they are not very hidden, like Zeblin said. I am trying to focus on games tha will become problematic to acquire once the eshops close, specially the ones people don't know about, so thats why I make these restrictions. Thanks for watching!
very minor drawbacks to pandora's tower. Hidden piece of art. that game is incredible to any collector or filthy casual. The New Game + option gives it even more since your weapon upgrades carry over, and yes, you get more than one weapon. the biggest setback is the final two towers don't load unless you stand facing the tower at the end of the cliff. some sort of error with the copies of disc. the game crashes and will not load unless you sit for awhile at the edge of the cliff looking at the towers. it's incredibly odd. only thing wrong with it other than that it is the perfect wii rpg
My question about Portable Space Adventures: I hate the low rez screen and pressure based touch sensitivity in the Wii U controller so much that I avoid all games that require its use. Do you hate the controller as much as I do? And Affordable Space Adventures was just sooo good that it allowed you to overlook your hatred for the controller?
I don't hate the controler at all actually, but I can understand why you do. I double checked and there is no requirement for pressure in the touch screen of the gamepad to manipulate the levers in the control panel, its very sensitive, light touches with the stylus will suffice. The low resolution of the screen is of almost no importance either since the bulk of the game happens on the TV. And yes, the gameplay is excelent to the point that these 2 issues should be of no concern. If you dislike touch functionalities completly than it is a problem, otherwise it should be fine. Of course you will have to appreciate this very particular style of gameplay of manipulating several systems to traverse obstacles. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames I appreciate the effort of you double checking some of the points I raised. Pretty awesome. The reason I commented in the first place is because I think the game looks great. One of my favorite Atari VCS titles is Thrustlander, which involves navigating a ship through tight caverns. So, I was drawn to ASA... but then put off by the stated control scheme. However, your extra work on all of this, which is like my own private mini review, has convinced me to pull the trigger. I'm going to download it tonight and giver a whirl. I appreciate your effort. Thanks, man!
I didn’t see your video when eshop was still going where is that Time Machine when I need one? My Wii U and several other systems along with thousands of dollars was lost in a house flood about that time so spent a long time sulking and slowly repurchase some of the systems and some games I had 3 feet of water in basement so games on the bottom 4 shelves of all stands were ruined. And insurance didn’t cover it. So yeah. But in last month I repurchased a wiiu and got some of the games that were ruined oddly enough wiiu I only lost about 13 game cases games were fine though so that’s my sad story. lol Think Nintendo will turn on servers for two weeks for me so I can get some games? Lol
It's funny how many of these are just Wii games. For all the nonsense from gamerboys about "shovelware," the Wii has a FAR superior library compared to N64, GameCube and Wii U COMBINED!
But let’s be really honest. Pandora’s tower was available in shops, you played it or considered it, and if you didn’t get it then you had a good reason so don’t buy it now just because it will be gone.
Also noteworthy about Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, the Wii U version has the online shop integrated, which means some unique items (like elysian whip) are available and makes the game much easier because of good weapons available to buy!

My pleasure, the dark knight! Glad you enjoyed. Agreed, I also love my Wii U and have it hooked on at all times. I use it as my Wii, GBA, NES, Turbografx and N64 machine, as well as the Wii U hidden gems you saw here. It has amazing value that loads of people are not aware of and yeah, only issue is the storage, which I had to buy a dedicated external HD to fix, which sux, but it was worth it. I also dislike the fact that the gamepad has to have its own power outlet, I mean, a charger like the switch would have made it much better, but its a minor thing too. Excelent console regardless. Thanks for watching!
Ha! I have a daughter named Aurora as well. She's like a squirrel on crack.
lol wow, that's an amazing coincidence :D. Dude, my Aurora is also insanely hyper, nonstop. Perhaps its a quality that comes with the name, we cursed ourselves. She sleeps super well though, thank God. And she is a darling, I should not complaint. Thanks for watching and leaving this comment, Jeremy, really apprecieated!
Great vid and great selection
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed! Stay tuned for more soon!
A fellow Shadow Dragon enjoyer, nice
Yep :D Such a fantastic strategy game, really well made, more than expected even knowing how great the series is. Thanks for watching kiracaos!
Blazing Blade is really good, I prefer BB over Awakening (but Awakening presentation is unbeatable.) But I belive that BB have better maps and is more heavily a strategy game that Awakening.
Sacret stone is (Spoiler)...
Basically a beta version of Awakening.
Cool. Those two I still have to play.
Great video! I’m glad I found this channel. Love the coverage of WiiU and 3DS. Scram Kitty is also on PS4 just an FYI
I feel like I know the WiiU very well, owning many of these titles but this list has some super deep cuts. Some games I’ve never heard of and I’ve had a WiiU since 2013.
Thank you so much, Mark! This is the whole purpose of my channel, to bring some highlight to lesser known games, so reading comments such as yours makes me really happy! Great catch about Scram Kitty, will add a correction to the description. Thanks for watching!
Young Aurora = cuteness overload :) Teach her everything good about gaming, dad ;)
:DDD I am already trying, lol. Sometimes I give her a fake controler and she presses stuff and looks at the screen. Too young still, but will try my best, hope she likes games, lol.
Cool list, thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Wii U coverage :D!
Great video, thanks again for your hard work, as always! However, one small error I noticed that I wanted to correct: RUSH is also available on PC.
Yeah, another viewer also pointed that out. I apologise. I have added a correction in the description for that. Thanks for watching, and am glad you enjoyed despite the mistake!
@@FromTheVoidGames We all make mistakes, and it's bound to happen from time to time when you make videos filled with so much information. I probably should have checked to see if there was already a correction as well, haha.
Keep up the great work. :)
Great list as always. Keep up the great work!
Glad you liked it Jimmy T!
Great video, I loved Aurora a lot. May God always keep you happy together
Thanks sindbad49! :D
Good Piece!!
*not ALOTTA fluff, just Facts. Visuals.. not TOO much Gushing. Kudos
Appreciate that, Priest Morrinson! Glad you enjoyed!
42:45 Wait you didn't played Echoes yet?.... 😳 ho my...
Is a fantastic remake and adds a couple of new sections, the first is a tutorial in disguise and the other part is new and is introduced later in the story (worthy) 😌.
The game don't follow the modern rules (There is no weapon triangle) and is based in the original game play from Gaiden but still feels like a Fire Emblem game.
A great game that could've "gorgeous" with more cutscenes like Awakening instead of static pictures.
Oh, I hadn't in the beggining of this year, but now I have! Awesome game for sure! One of my favorite Fire Emblems. Its not easy for beginners, but for more seasoned players its a blast!
Yea project rainfall was all like -bring us the thee Big wii rpgs and se Will buy them!- and then they released them and they only bought xenoblade and ignores the last story and pandoras tower. I have the physical release of fatal Frame 5 , I actualy have 1,2,3 as but have never finished one of them 😅
Awesome, Fatal Frame in physical version would have made so much more sense, lol, its insane that the Americas didn't get it. Thanks for watching Dominic!
Great list. Never heard of some of them but definitely will be trying them out. Thank you for your time and hard effort to bringing this video to us gamers
Glad you like them! I will continue with more Wii U coverage in the future (probably early next year), stay tuned! :D
Thanks-great list!
My pleasure, Li El! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
weird no Mario Advance 4 Mario 3 is on the list because its the only way legally have access to all eReader Levels at once outside of Japan.
Or Duck Hunt because that is the only way to play as intended without needing to buy an old TV
Hi M3rtyville, thanks for watching! I am making one video exclusively on Virtual Console, that's why those were not here. I do plan on featuring the shooting games from the NES that used the zapper and were translated to the wii motion controls, those are great value because of that. Will take a look at the GBA Marios too! The virtual console list is my next video on this series, so stay tuned! :D
It's a hidden gems list... Mario is not a hidden gem on a Nintendo console 🤦
Isn't it really weird that ds games are available digitally on Wii U and not 3ds. Does not compute.
Absolutely. DS and GBA games on the Wii U not on 3DS and several SNES games on the New 3DS model only... makes no sense. Nintendo is bananas. Thanks for watching!
I found 2 more games, was really lucky to find physicals of prime trilogy and shadow dragon for decent prices
Great picks! Those are excellent games, all 4 of them :D Thanks for watching fenni ken!
@@FromTheVoidGames those weren't the games this list helped me find, but your welcome.
Wait, Rhythm heaven fever is $90 now?!! I remember being it at a vintage stock for cheap, and I still have it.
Geez, now I want to just hold on to every little game I have, cause I've gotten rid of a ton of games that ended up getting expensive later down the road
Yeah, games prices changed drastically since covid. Nowadays, if the game is good and either had limited print or was obscure at the time, chances are that its value will increase a lot with time. Rhythm Heaven Fever checks all those boxes :D Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames Yeah, I really wish I got Game and Wario now, I literally remember looking at it in Walmart and thinking about getting it. Oh well, you win some you lose some!
Thanks for the hard work you are doing here! Does anybody know if Shuttle Rush is a North America Wii U exclusive? I am based in Europe, and I can't find the game here. Thanks
Rush seems like a cousin to Pedra on the Atari VCS/Steam. I wonder if they share the same developer?
Pedra looks cool too, will give it a try. On first glance it doesn't seem to be from same devs, different names. Thanks for watching and leaving these comments, esperago!
This is a great video
Compared to the 3Ds, these indie games, mostly, in the wii u really don’t interest me at all, the switch and all newer consoles are plagued of such games… let’s go back to the 3Ds shop.
I tried the demo for Chasing Aurora and was bored stiff. Ridiculously dull to the point that I really can't see the appeal. Removed it without any hesitation or regrets.
Thank you but you should put the list and time stamps in the description.
19:18 Simple, most people have never understood the Gamepad including most of the press (and specially IGN which gained the reputation of having terrible players)
This is also the reason Star Fox Zero got so underappreciated as well (don't know why is not in this list)
Also Where is Zombi U?
@@alpha34098 both good games, but not exactly hidden gems, underrated for sure, but they are very well known for Wii U titles
True, the gamepad is a misunderstood device for sure. Zombi U and Star Fox Zero are not here for 2 reasons: firstly they both have cheap physical versions, and secondly they are not very hidden, like Zeblin said. I am trying to focus on games tha will become problematic to acquire once the eshops close, specially the ones people don't know about, so thats why I make these restrictions. Thanks for watching!
very minor drawbacks to pandora's tower. Hidden piece of art. that game is incredible to any collector or filthy casual. The New Game + option gives it even more since your weapon upgrades carry over, and yes, you get more than one weapon. the biggest setback is the final two towers don't load unless you stand facing the tower at the end of the cliff. some sort of error with the copies of disc. the game crashes and will not load unless you sit for awhile at the edge of the cliff looking at the towers. it's incredibly odd. only thing wrong with it other than that it is the perfect wii rpg
Totally agree. It had a limited budget for sure, not a "tripe A" project, but a triple A quality in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Nice.
My question about Portable Space Adventures: I hate the low rez screen and pressure based touch sensitivity in the Wii U controller so much that I avoid all games that require its use. Do you hate the controller as much as I do? And Affordable Space Adventures was just sooo good that it allowed you to overlook your hatred for the controller?
I don't hate the controler at all actually, but I can understand why you do. I double checked and there is no requirement for pressure in the touch screen of the gamepad to manipulate the levers in the control panel, its very sensitive, light touches with the stylus will suffice. The low resolution of the screen is of almost no importance either since the bulk of the game happens on the TV. And yes, the gameplay is excelent to the point that these 2 issues should be of no concern. If you dislike touch functionalities completly than it is a problem, otherwise it should be fine. Of course you will have to appreciate this very particular style of gameplay of manipulating several systems to traverse obstacles. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
@@FromTheVoidGames I appreciate the effort of you double checking some of the points I raised. Pretty awesome. The reason I commented in the first place is because I think the game looks great. One of my favorite Atari VCS titles is Thrustlander, which involves navigating a ship through tight caverns. So, I was drawn to ASA... but then put off by the stated control scheme. However, your extra work on all of this, which is like my own private mini review, has convinced me to pull the trigger. I'm going to download it tonight and giver a whirl. I appreciate your effort. Thanks, man!
I didn’t see your video when eshop was still going where is that Time Machine when I need one? My Wii U and several other systems along with thousands of dollars was lost in a house flood about that time so spent a long time sulking and slowly repurchase some of the systems and some games I had 3 feet of water in basement so games on the bottom 4 shelves of all stands were ruined. And insurance didn’t cover it. So yeah. But in last month I repurchased a wiiu and got some of the games that were ruined oddly enough wiiu I only lost about 13 game cases games were fine though so that’s my sad story. lol
Think Nintendo will turn on servers for two weeks for me so I can get some games? Lol
It's funny how many of these are just Wii games. For all the nonsense from gamerboys about "shovelware," the Wii has a FAR superior library compared to N64, GameCube and Wii U COMBINED!
I can't find blek on android
I didn't see it either, but I figured it was in my region (Brazil). So Im guessing the Wii U is the only ption now.
@@FromTheVoidGames I think it's only on iphone😑 hopefully it goes on sale on wii u it looks interesting
But let’s be really honest. Pandora’s tower was available in shops, you played it or considered it, and if you didn’t get it then you had a good reason so don’t buy it now just because it will be gone.
Q sotaque BR
IGN reviews are so awful 😂
