![]() With Wombat Source promising more modes possibly to be added in the future after launch, this should fix the issue with only having two modes. ![]() There is some great classic arcade multiplayer fun to be had here. If you have multiplayer parties or have the ability to play with two to four players on a regular basis, then by all means grab this title now. The soundtrack has some super catchy loops that will make you feel like dancing while laying some smackdown. I like the feel and it reminds me of what an old school Atari game may look like circa 2014 and is one of the better looking Nintendo Web Framework titles that I’ve seen. Graphically, the game goes for a strict simplistic arcade approach and opting to use simple colors of mostly pink and black. Both modes are extremely fun but unfortunately these are the only two modes available and you can only play the game multiplayer locally, so if you have the lack of friends in your area it puts a damper on this title. In King of the Crown you have to grab the crown and hold on to it to earn points. In Capture the Crown the goal is to get the crown and return it to your base a la Capture the Flag. Both modes can be played 2 player or 4 player, I always recommend 4, as it is more challenging and exciting with free for alls or teams. There are two game modes available in GetClose: Capture the Crown or King of the Crown. It’s always nice seeing indie studios taking advantage of Nintendo systems capabilities and functions. You can also collect pizza slices, diamonds and other random objects to earn points to unlock MiiVerse stamps. Players can collect many different power-up types such as turrets, shields and rockets to help them defeat their sibling opponents. This play style works well no matter which side of the controller you are on, as I made sure to test both so that there wasn’t a disadvantage to one or the other. ![]() Players will share either a GamePad or Pro controller with player 1 using the left stick and L buttons and player 2 using the right analog and the R buttons. GetClose gets it’s name from having to get close to the person you are playing against. Each of the ten characters have goofy faces and names which adds a nice comedic face to the player avatars you will get to choose from. You are basically pitted against your siblings in a barbaric, gladiator style battle where it’s all about capturing the crown to the appeasement of your father, the king. The story, which really holds no bearing to the game, place you as one of ten children from a king of the cosmos of sort. The appropriately titled GetClose brings the eShop yet another fun multiplayer experience that can be played in short but really fun bursts. With games such as Smash Bros., Mario Party and more recent indie titles such as Spin the Bottle and Sportsball, there are enough games that you can find something to play for multiplayer sessions. You can make an argument that perhaps this means you shouldn’t be playing the game that long anyway, but if the Wii U is trying to become a legitimate hardcore gamer’s console, it’s shooting itself in the foot with that argument.Nintendo has always been a platform that hosts party games that are fun and bring out the competitive nature in everyone. Neither of these functions contribute significantly to the game, and in fact make the GamePad a less likely choice for long term play, since they don’t do the feeble battery life of the controller any favors. When it’s not showing you the map, it mirrors the same cut scene you’re watching on your television, which is a puzzling choice to say the least. It’s not markedly more efficient than simply pausing the game and checking the map screen, since you’re probably going to stop free running anyway to do this, so you only save a few seconds. For the most part, the tablet merely acts as a map screen, showing you the parts of the environment you’ve uncovered through traversal or climbing viewpoints. Like many of the ports that are coming over to the Wii U from the Xbox 360 and PS3, this one uses the tablet controller in a questionable way. What it is not good at is showing off its strengths as a Wii U specific title. Assassin’s Creed III is looking good on the Wii U, and on the strength of its gameplay alone, it’s a decent buy for the new console.
