WayForward kept things simple and didn’t try to add any gimmicky nonsense.

To reiterate, never once did I have any issues controlling Patricia. Should you feel like retrying a level, all you have to do is press Start and select retry (a feature that was eventually patched into the 3DS version). The Wii U GamePad controls the action very nicely, as you can opt for both the left stick or the D-pad for movement, Y for your blaster, B for jumping, X to look around, and pretty much every other button on the GamePad for switching blocks. Patricia keeps things simple in terms of movesets: she can jump, shoot, and switch blocks from phasing in and out - that’s about it. Patricia Wagon, the game’s blue-blooded robotic heroine, has to capture a group of criminals named the Hooligan Sisters while making her way through various deadly puzzles and platforming challenges.

As with any launch game, you would expect there to be some bumps in the road when converting to a brand new console, right? What followed was a long string of hits, the latest of which is an HD remake of the 3DS title Mighty Switch Force! for the brand new Wii U.

After following a multiplatform development model since 1990, in 2008, Wayforward aligned itself with Nintendo and developed, among other games, the criminally underrated Mighty Flip Champs! and Shantae: Risky’s Revenge for DSiWare. WayForward Technologies continues to forge on into brave new worlds.
