Not sure why they didn't have that option.

Graphically yes it is just an HD upgrade of the Wii version, which lesser effort than pushing the WiiU to its limit. 

 

It's because the Wii U version is a port of the 3DS version rather than the Wii version. :( baffling decision.

Basically, the Wii version is the actual game, Kodakowa (I think) decided they also wanted a 3DS version of the game so made that themselves. Then the Wii version got delayed until well after the Wii U was out, so Kodakowa decided they wanted to release the game for Wii U rather than Wii.

That is too bad because having HD graphics with Wii controls seems a good enough WiiU game.  I know it is not marketed but Nintendo really need to help 3rd party games since there are only a few of those.  It is for the audience who like Sonic with a new twist.

Just play the Wii game, when I got it I reversed the cover, sold the Wii U version and placed the case on my Wii shelf. Even the developer says just play the Wii one too lol



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

My order arrived, I have both versions and played both until Stage 1.  It is easier and faster to play with the Wii version but the Wii U ain't that bad.  If they realy wanted to support this game, I believe WiiMote for the WiiU version should still be possible.  Not sure why they didn't have that option.

It is somewhat like a Sonic game that you are in the air.  :)

Good fun not sure how long the game would be.  I suggest buy it in Amazon to get both versions, I believe the first print copies are still there.  You'll know for sure that you have the Wii version with it if pick up it up and lift it, you know there are two discs inside. :)

 

Really dissapointedin the Wii U version not having the motion controls at least the Wii version seems to be available. Gonna have to take the plunge!
