We can all rest easy now.

Since the Wii U’s unveiling at last year’s E3, many have wondered just exactly how many Wii U GamePads the system would support.  Initial showings of the system and game demos always showed just one person using the tablet-like controller, while others playing along used the classic Wii remote controller, which lead many to believe that Nintendo’s new machine would only support a single GamePad.  Today those concerns were wiped away.

Insert Top Gun reference here.

City Interactive is delivering some arcade-style shoot-em-up goodness later this year in the form of Dogfight 1942.

Despite its praiseworthy delivery of content, the experience is a bit too homogenous to remain entertaining for more than forty missions. A lackluster online offering and a dubious scoring system only serve to provide further frustrations, bringing down an otherwise solid experience.
