"As the two original downloadable games services for their consoles and handhelds, WiiWare and DSiWare will provide useful starting foundations for Nintendo to build from with the 3DS eShop and the Wii U's eventual services, but like many other new ventures they both had their fair share of issues. WiiWare made a successful debut, but fell short due to lack of awareness on Nintendo's behalf and the overall grainy online abilities of the Wii in general. DSiWare fared slightly better, the simpler interface being more suited for handhelds, and the service continuing to see promotion through the 3DS eShop with games like The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition. A good number of developers have seen modest success on these two, however, one in particular being EnjoyUp! Games. After such titles on DSiWare like Chronos Twins and Gaia's Moon, EnjoyUp has crafted a sequel to its popular pixel-based shooter 99Bullets. Does 99Seconds outlast its name limit or provide only that much bang for your buck?", writes Cubed3.
Today, Cosen released the 99Seconds Nintendo Wii U game in Japan. The game is available for 300 Yen in the eShop.
Pure Nintendo: "Admittedly, a game of this style is a much better fit on a handheld. But that doesn’t change the fact that this Wii U version is superior to its predecessor. With sharper visuals, better music, multiplayer support, and online leaderboards, 99Seconds on Wii U improves in many ways. If you have arcade sensibilities and like chasing high scores, 99Seconds is your kind of game. It’s a fun and polished download, well worth just $2.49."
"Time is a very valuable commodity. At least that’s what people say, but there always seems to be time for sneaking a quick little game of something between tasks. 99Seconds seeks to fill those blips in your life, and perhaps a few more, with a classic dodge ‘em style of gameplay.
The Wii U version of 99seconds is fundamentally equal to its DSiWare predecessor. As a clock ticks down from the titular time limit, the goal is to move your block character, V-99, around the screen, dodging an armada of black shapes coming from all directions in order to rack up the highest score possible."
