2. Affordable Space Adventures
Affordable Space Adventures is the brainchild of Nicklas Nygren, the Swedish developer behind the Knytt series. Just as in the Knytt games, Affordable Space Adventures is about atmosphere and exploration as you navigate an alien world in a rather cheap-looking rust bucket of a spacecraft.
This Wii U exclusive lays out the ship's control panel on the GamePad for a more authentic space-faring experience. You'll have to steer, manage the scanners, lower the landing gear, and a myriad of other options by interacting with the touchscreen. You don't have to go it alone, however — two or three players can form a crew, with one person piloting the ship with a Wii Remote, another serving as the GamePad-equipped engineer, and the last on flashlight duty.
Affordable Space Adventures will be available early next year, and considering how much Nintendo has been showing it off at public events, I don't doubt it will be very well received.
