Nano Assault Neo Patch, Moonside

The update (patch) for Nano Assault Neo that hit Europe two weeks ago is now also available in America. The patch fixes an error with the GamePad disconnecting (not realizing the Wii U was already shut off), and it also fixes the glitch on the online leaderboards. Before, the flag of your country would block two digits of your rating number. So you might have thought you were #17 when you were really #4217 for example. Here is a before and after look at the glitch.

UPDATE: I have posted a video of Moonside:

Scribblenauts User Creations

Here I’m going to show off some objects that have been created in Scribblenauts Unlimited for Wii U. Some of these are things I’ve made myself and some are from other people. First off is the Animal Crossing characters: Four I made myself and two others made by bobboy6:

  • Bob by jvgsjeff
  • Gaston by jvgsjeff
  • Jambette by jvgsjeff
  • Tom Nook by jvgsjeff
  • Tortimer by bobboy6
  • Pete by bobboy6

One cool thing about Pete, is that he will drop a package when you walk by him, as if he’s delivering it to you. If you open it up, you’ll find a figurine inside.

The next one is the Bluths’ staircar from Arrested Development, which I created:

User creations in Scribblenauts UnlimitedShown above:

  • loveosaur by nick-kun
  • Moon Sword by nick-kun
  • cat-horse by pikachu33
  • motor cat-dog by pikachu33

The loveosaur shoots out Cupid arrows and the Moon Sword is from Avatar. Pikachu33’s two creations are some funny animal hybrids. You gotta love seeing people making creative items and creatures like these.

UPDATE: Here are three Arrested Development characters–Buster Bluth, Tobias Funke, and Franklin D. Bluth. They were all created by Middles:

Finished Nano Assault Neo

Tonight I beat the single player (main) mode of Nano Assault Neo. The last boss was surprisingly easy.

Last boss of Nano Assault NeoAfter beating it, I was disappointed to find there was no real ending. No credits, not even a “congratulations” screen. All I got was a screen telling me I unlocked the “survivor” mode.

If you’re playing just to beat it, you could probably do it in under three hours. But it has online leaderboards and achievement-style missions that encourage you to beat other people’s high scores or meet other goals. So it does have replay value. And the graphics are definitely impressive; it’s a gorgeous game. I do recommend the game for anyone who is even slightly interested in shooters. It’s well worth the $10 asking price. You can expect a review soon. In the meantime, here are a few more screenshots of the game.
