Battle for Earth on the Wii U is a port of a title first released on Kinect for Xbox 360. That means Nintendo fans are now getting a boomerang effect – Kinect was inspired by the first Wii’s motion controls, and now a title built for hands-free motion has bounced back to the company that’s trying to move on from their own motion era. The result is an odd, limited fighting game that offers two different ways to play – one that’s a bit more modern, embracing the GamePad, and another that feels just like the normal Wii fare we were getting five or six years ago.
The GamePad experience is better, as it moves all input onto the handheld touchscreen and asks you to tap different icons to trigger your normal attacks, while super attacks involve tapping an icon and then following up by tracing a zig-zagging path on the screen with your finger. Dodging and swapping to your partner character are both also activated by on-screen virtual buttons, and it’s more fun to play this way than trying to wave your arms around with the Wiimote and nunchuk.
