Interesting little tidbit on OlliOlli's cross buy promotion. If you have multiple NNID's on your Wii U system and buy OlliOlli on one of them, you can get a free 3DS copy on any of the NNID's that were registered on your Wii U at the time of purchase. One purchase would get you more than 2 copies of the game depending on how many 3DS systems you have linked with a NNID on a Wii U.

Sort of solves the "family sharing" issue, since you're likely to have one Wii U w/multiple NNIDs, but multiple 3DSs with one NNID.

At least, I hope that was the plan.

Sneaky Ninja is coming to Wii U. The version was funded on the Kickstarter.

3D platformer FreezeME is coming to Wii U as well.

I don't even remember posting in that topic.

The game looks a whole lot better than it did before. I might pick it up at some point.

I do and I downloaded the demo and posted comments in that very thread.

I'm hype for Freedom Planet! I'm a huge fan of the 2D Sonics so it's right up my alley.

Anyone see the trailer for Poncho? I'll try to find and edit it in. It's an "open-world" 2D platformer, but it looks interesting.

Apparently the Wii U eShop does not have more than just 2D platformers but whatever. That's the indie genre of choice.

Well as for me I LOVE retro Sonic games and even enjoyed many of the knock offs, including Jazz and Bubsy. I would be down for a new entry in that genre.

Boy do a lot of these look . . . similar. I've never heard of Race the Sun before, looks like it could scratch a fantastical/arcade racing itch I occasionally feel.

I'll say it again- the eShop certainly is not more than 2D platformers.

Come on, almost half of these were not 2D platformers...

Evan_B · « **Reply #165 on:** April 02, 2015, 12:17:38 AM »

I see six. Which is more than half.

Soren · « **Reply #166 on:** April 02, 2015, 02:34:16 AM »

There are good eShop games that are platformers. There are also good eShop games that aren't platformers.

Are you aiming to be the next broodwars? I say this because if you've ever said anything positive AT ALL about Nintendo, it is a rare occasion lately. I don't mean you have to love everything Nintendo does, but you surely don't need to be all surly about everything either.

Evan_B · « **Reply #168 on:** April 02, 2015, 08:36:24 PM »

Wow, to be likened to Broodwars... Truly high praise.

In all seriousness, one of my favorite platformers of all time is both independently developed, 2D, and available on the eShop. Independent developers and Nintendo are exclusive entities- however, I do find it interesting that both parties tend to rely on the familiarity and ease of access that 2D Platformers provide. Clearly the genre still has plenty to offer in terms of innovation... Or, at least, that's what independent developers would like us to believe. I have played very few 2D platformers by independent developers that actually prove this.

Still, there's something to be SAI about polish and quality, and the familiar mechanics and setup of 2D platformers often ensures a high level of quality. I would just rather see anything else on the console because it's becoming a bit much. An abundance of one thing means there are many options but few do much to distinguish themselves.

After many years and an initially nebulous April Fool's Day announcement, The Binding of Isaac Rebirth is coming to Wii U and New 3DS (no OG 3DS).

I don't see "Slain" so here it is.

I get that it's "old school"-looking, but it's certainly not (and does not look like) "8-bit." That's in reference to the video description, not your post.

Evan_B · « **Reply #172 on:** April 06, 2015, 10:13:50 AM »

I saw that Slain! was in the works for Wii U, but I didn't know whetehr or not it would be coming to the platform because of their kickstarter. Still, I am happy to see the game, it looks ridiculous and fun and that art style reminds me of 90s PC stuff.

Looks like a 2D Platformer to me!

Well, yes. But one that I can at least appreciate as an artist rather than an embittered gamer.
