You're welcome Wii and thanks for drawing attention to it, I wasn't sure if I should plug it or not being that it's a somewhat 'late' review but it's good to know that our reviews are noticed.

 

It was only a quick one too as I'm used to writing short reviews for VC Weekly but then I suppose it's all that's needed for a downloadable title, what a game though, such a brilliant example of game development done right. : peace:

Read the review, even though I got the game. I do that sometimes.

Btw, Link doesn't work @Wii, 404 error.

N-E Review

 

Thanks for the heads up. I don't know why that happened. It should be working now.

No problem. Link is fine now.

Of course you should draw attention to it. It's a terrific game well deserving of praise and if you can't plug it here then where can it be plugged?

Seen videos of this game and thought it looked pretty good. Whilst browsing the eShop just now, I noticed that it was only £4.49, so I've just bought it. It looks a pretty cool game so I thought I can't lose much at that price.

Update went live in NA.

 

♀Smaller file size! Our previous footprint of 528MB has been reduced to 360MB.

 

♀Low Resolution Hero! Now you can play as Pixel Patty.

 

♀Softer Screaming! Audio has been completely rebalanced so you won't wake the neighbors!

 

♀Silence is Golden! Plug your headphones into the GamePad for stealthy play on or off the TV.

Bought this game the other day, I gotta say it's really fun, beating the par times is pretty tough in a couple, but mission 10 takes the piss, gotten 3 convicts in 1.20 but getting the 4th is proving highly difficult.

BUMP

 

Brilliant video, RedShell (with added sound effects!) The Hyper stages look quite a lot more complex, really making you think about the blocks. I am definitely going to buy this when I get a Wii U.

 

Two years later, I've kept my promise. See, no one can say I don't mean what I say.

 

Bought this yesterday for £2 or so (all "four" MSF games are ridiculously cheap this week) and blasted through the Par times for the first 21 stages. Not recommended, to be honest (it's a great game, I just couldn't get to sleep for hours!)

With 42 stages (compared to 21), HD visuals and an alternative costume, I can see why most people consider this the definitive version - the hand-drawn art is sharp and a far better fit for the TV than the handheld's pixel sprites. That said, in no way do I regret having had the 3DS version instead for all these years. Even now, I'm still slightly more fond of that edition, as I've carried it around with me and listened to the music so many times - it's been like a portable music player for me!

 

The Wii U version's "Hyper" stages are extremely difficult and so I might leave them for now. All I can say is that I hope we haven't seen the last of Patricia Wagon!
