Slight thread revival lads:
Eurogamer Preview
"There are now on-rails sections too, levels set in mine carts which rattle around the edges of their densely-packed maps. Gameplay shifts into first-person view via the GamePad screen as you shoot turnips (naturally) at nearby stacks of coins and flying enemies to clear a path and collect your prize. Aiming and firing can be performed via the GamePad's gyro controls, while the TV screen shows an overview of the level. It allows onlookers to shout in and help you with knowledge of what's coming up and where to turn and point your turnip cannon, with some secrets only easily spottable when glancing up at the larger screen.
The game's quick turnaround, just a year on from 3D World, is a savvy move from Nintendo to fill a hole in the Wii U's sparse release schedule.
Other levels are now devoted entirely to boss fights - although there is no actual fighting involved. The level we played involved a screen-filling dragon who spat fire and smoke and whose projectiles we had to scurry between rocky crags to avoid."
Dunno if that's news to any of you (is to me though!
), but at least there's gonna be extra stuff to look forward to, perhaps not just limited to on-rails mine carts... The preview itself does go on to question whether there's enough to warrant a full priced rrp, but since neither size nor rrp have been confirmed in the first place, that's just guesswork anyway.
Slightly more looking forward to it here then! Would still prefer a bit more info before marking the release date on my calender of course though!
