Seems I heard right.
I also think that you are WRONG AND FALSE AND BAD!
OK, yeah. As far as battles go, it's pretty bleh.
But I don't care. It's so swag, it's been a part of my main team since 3rd gen. It's that cool!
Anyway...
Some of my favourite WiiU games are 2D.
OK, NSMBU is a bit bland, but NSLU is probably my favourite Mario platformer ever! Donkey Kong is sublime. And Yarn Yoshi and Kirby have me hyped.
(Are we counting Smash Bros in this? There's a 2D game that's sure to sell a few WiiU's)
