Improved controls and extra content make this the must-have version of last year’s puzzle-platformer.
Like many games featured in the Wii U launch, Trine 2 saw release on other platforms at a much earlier point. However, with its release on Nintendo’s new hardware it seems to have found its true home. Through combined use of the Wii U GamePad’s touch screen and its traditional controls, players have the most effective means of interacting with this beautiful game yet. With the addition of the Goblin Menace expansion and the exclusive Dwarven Caverns level, there’s little question that the Wii U edition of the game is the one to get.
Available now for $19.99 on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Wii U.
Wait...Blizzard made games besides WoW, Diablo, and StarCraft?
When talking about Blizzard Entertainment, it’s almost impossible to imagine the company before the creation of their core pillars of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo. It’s even more difficult to think of the company making games for home consoles, but in the early 90s both of these unimaginable things were true. Under the original company name of Silicon & Synapse, the house that would be Blizzard produced The Lost Vikings—a beloved side-scrolling puzzle game that fell by the wayside for juggernauts like Warcraft. We have some love for those quirky Vikings around here, so it was high time for them to get their very own MIA.
Reggie Fils-Aime, and Bill Trinen host this latest Nintendo Direct showcasing their upcoming line-up.
It's not the Lost Vikings exactly, but it's close enough that you should be excited.
This year, we're doing something a bit different.
