Ah, now this is the Wii U game I was looking for impressions of the most. NSMB and ZombiU are my physical day ones, but this looks far too good to pass up.

A great deal at that price, and I'm enjoying it more than the 3DS version thanks to the true twin stick controls. It also has some achievement like "missions." These are small challenges like 'complete a cell without getting hit.' On the leaderboard screen, it displays how many missions that person has beaten, and although you can't tell which specific missions someone has completed, it gives a small incentive to try and complete more. Shin'en definitely put some thought into the leaderboard structure, which is crucial for a score based game like this one.
Downloaded this and Trine 2 on Sunday once I got the system and have not been disappointed.

Are there Miiverses for Wii U Ware games as well? What about WiiWare and VC?

There are Miiverse communities for the Wii U e-shop games, but not for WiiWare or VC since they only be accessed through the Wii emulator channel.

Feel free to add me for leaderboard purposes, NNID: PixyJunket.
Add me if you will be getting lots of indie/eShop games.

Wow, the gameplay videos are amazing. I'm going to have to pick this up.
I hope Wii U gets plenty of shmups on the eShop. Gamepad-only play would really shine for me in the unlikely case that Cave got on board.

It reminds me of SSHD a lot, except not mind-numbingly boring.
SSHD does have an amazing Endless Mode though (I have not unlocked NAN's Survival Mode yet).
After watching gameplay i can't believe it's that small.
When i get done eating about 300 pounds of food this game will be mine.

With all the praise this game is getting I'm going to have to download it some time next week or so.
Your NNiD is already confirmed to go to your next console and your WiiWare games can be transfered to your Wii U. What are you concerned about exactly?
I will be getting this when I receive my console, Eric over at Negative World seems to love it.

Played this game for the first time and DAMN does this game not only look good, it plays really freaking awesome. I've only heard about Shin'en and what they did with other games, but I was a bit hesitant since I've never played anything thing of there's till I saw my friend had this and decided to try it out for myself. I was not disappointed at all and will surely be looking into other stuff they have made.
...no. Sorry!
I just restarted it 3 times to see if it is a random error, but it's never happened to me.
I've had this happen a bunch of times. Thought it was because of my distance to the Wii U. Fucking annoying. Seems like a bug. It fixed itself after a couple restarts.
Damn,
That video of the girl playing is, like, exactly what it is like playing with my sister. Why can't there be more female players :-( Brought a smile to my face: I always get an excited call from my sister when new nintendo hardware is released. Goes back to Mario and Bionic Commando on NES days.
I had this happen earlier and it went away after I restarted a few times. Looking in the Wii U operations manual now though, it seems you can reset the sticks by holding a, b, +, and - for a few seconds.
It's going to be a day one purchase for me when it launches here. Looks lovely.
Graphics remind me of that dx 10 demo from nvidia (with the floaty rocks and water falls) Didn't look this good though, but the shininess of the wet surfaces reminds me of that. We've come a long way when and indie title can look this pretty folks!
That, Trine 2 and Little Inferno day one d/l for sure!

I will make videos of it next weekend. Also a EU victim so Nov. 30th release date for me.
im planning a big bump whenever a review comes in, but i hardly see any. :[
with that said, the game is worth every penny and deserves a larger miiverse community. we should engage in miiverse wars.

50MB, how is that even possible?
dat German engineering.
I assume this'll be a European launch title, good. I want at least one digital title to test out how that stuff works, this is by far the most appealing candidate I've seen so far. Also makes a nice twinstick shooter trifecta with Geometry Wars on 360, Super Stardust HD on PS3 and Nano Assault Neo on WiiU - beautiful.
Also, how do I add points to my WiiU? (I assume it uses points) I still have some Wii points, can I use those?

Aren't they Austrians @ shinen?
I really hope this is a launch title too, I'll buy it as soon as possible (Friday I hope
)Wii U does use real money in the eShop as does the 3DS. I'm not quite sure about the Wii Points. I think I read here on gaf you can use those. I have 3000 left as well
Seriously. Those pods that explode into bullets suck.

Don't have a 3DS. Eh, I'll figure it out.
Basically there's no points or anything, and you can use 3DS prepaid cards on the Wii U shop. Also when you buy something you can choose to pay the exact amount, or they've got the usual price brackets to fill up your eShop wallet.

Finally got around to beating all 4 clusters this morning. I think I played 80% of this game with the TV turned off and just playing off the pad. The only negative I could place on the game is the uninspired bosses...I think the 3DS game had better encounters.
Dived into survival and did really well on the first cell, didn't get hit once, but of course the second randomly selected cell was the one I'm weakest at and I didn't last too long.
I have a ton of other games to beat, but want to return to this one eventually to try and get higher on the leaderboards and beat all the mission challenges. It's a solid game, and I think one of the best e-shop offerings at launch.

Shin'en needs to get into, or at least TRY a hand in graphical outsourcing for other 3rd-party games.
Surely that could be a profitable venture and can still be done with their little team, just have another company be like "here what we want, work your magic", boom, even if it's not their best, it'll still look better than most other games easily.
Yeah something like Assassin's Creed might be too big for them, but something simpler, hell The Kore Gang was made in Germany, why weren't these guys recruited for that instead of Snap Dragon who suck? Could've been an amazing game in the right hands; Zoink did the design, Shin'en could've programmed it. What a waste.
