Forums - Nintendo - Little Inferno (Nintendo Wii U eShop) Review! Wii U version is outstanding!

This makes me want to play World of Goo. I hope it's cheaper by the time I get a WiiU.

Osed and naninho. Most PC reviews I have seen have given it mediocre to poor scores. Pick it up for Wii U if you can. They have all been really good so far.

I thought all scores post so far were for PC version.

It's exactly the same game! It will be identical on Linux, OS X too.

Didn't you post a 2/10 review for this game yesterday? And today it gets 9.1/10.

Now who to believe? This is a big disparity in score. Hm... tough decision.

A tough decision? What do you have to decide? You said the other day that all indie games are worthless...

Hmm...Well that is strange then since all the other reviews I have seen have given this game a really bad score. Those were for PC. Maybe the gamepad makes the difference?


I assumed that's just coincidence.  Bound to happen sometimes when you have a lot of reviewers only reviewing one platform or another.  I haven't read anything from any review that makes me think there's actually a difference between the versions, so I'd assume all those PC reviews apply to the Wii U version as well.

aww...downloadable games were really the only thing I wanted a Wii U at launch for, and now I hear they're awesome. Crud. Guess I'll continue the hunt for a non-ridiculously priced Wii U somewhere and maybe I'll get it in time to review this and Chasing Aurora.

I pre-ordered it on Steam only because World of Goo was amazing. First impression: Disappointing.

Still, I find it pretty hard to stop playing. Burning stuff can be mesmerizing...

I am sure that this is the appeal of the game... I have (and sometimes still do) spent long stretches of time burning random bits of things at a bonfire / barbeque.

Some men just want to watch the world burn...

I think that's one of the problems with Metacritic. Even when different versions of multi-platform games are identical, they consider reviews from websites like nintendeers.com, playstationeros.es and xboxers.de, altering the mean for each system.

Well this is mostly due to Meta's new policy where every site reviewing a game has to make it obvious what version of the game they played the most and their score will only be counted for that platform unless a second reviewer does a completely independent review of the other platform.  I think it's a good policy from the aspect of honest because it stops sites from just labeling their reviews as being for all the platforms when they only ever touched one, but it makes comparisons a bit more confusing, particularly for a title like this which is hugely devisive.
