Not riding what little appeal there is for Karaetka is understandble, but striving for an new fan base instead of trying to excite those with fond memories of gaming in the '80s is a risky prospect.
The mind behind Prince of Persia shares his family’s life story as well as his own as a videogame developer in an emotional and very personal book.
John Bedford (Modojo): What's going cheap on the App Store today?
A few months ago, a Wii U listing of the Karateka remake popped up on the ESRB. The game’s launch came and passed… yet there was no news about it heading to the eShop.
For anybody who hasn't played the game... This is a blessing. Not a "Aliens: Colonial Marines" blessing but a blessing nonetheless. As much as I like to see the Wii U library grow this game was a mess.
Gee, what a surprise.
Not that the game was that great though, like Nevers0ft said.
I remember playing and finishing the original game on my Atari 800 computer back in the mid 80's. The new art style is what drew me to the remake. If the game plays similar to the classic with new game play enhancements, I'd consider buying the game if it's good.
