I will say one thing that surprised me about the Wii U is that we didn’t get a flood of minigame collections. We are apparently getting at least one minigame collection, though, that makes me uncomfortable in all the right ways. Spin the Bottle is from Denmark developer, KnapKnok Games, which has worked on experimental… Continue reading
