Now, this one is a version of the classic strategy board game Reversi that you can play on your GamePad, but it&#8217;s actually been in development for a pretty long time.<\/p>\n<p>Cragworks is responsible for creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu-eshop\/bloc\">BLOC<\/a>, which is another puzzle game where all of the action takes place on your GamePad. Reversi 32 was actually announced way <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=asJINOlozcU\">back in 2015<\/a>, and Cragworks has stayed true to its word and managed to get the game out the door.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of the upcoming Wii U release, straight from the eShop:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Play Reversi (32-piece style) on the Wii U GamePad against a friend or Bigley.<\/p>\n<p>Features:<br \/>1) Clear the board (pieces fall off and game resets) by pressing the control pad<br \/>2) Touch the screen to add a piece<br \/>3) Board builder: create your own start boards with walls\/pieces, decide which color goes first, and choose whether pieces can be placed anywhere or not anywhere like traditional Reversi<br \/>4) 32 slots for custom boards<br \/>5) Options: show score, 100\/200% speed, show future moves, on\/off music, time limit for making a move, end game if a player has no moves available<br \/>6) 4 Bigley CG cutscenes (win, lose, tie, and ~40 sec intro movie)<br \/>7) For 1 &#8211; 2 players: play alone against Bigley or against a friend locally by taking turns touching the same Wii U GamePad<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you recognise the name Bigley, then, well, you&#8217;re getting old like us. Bigley was a meme created in response to Sakurai&#8217;s dismissal of ever getting Ridley into <strong>Smash Bros<\/strong>. because he&#8217;s too big. Well, uh, that hasn&#8217;t aged well now, has it? But this stung at the time, so Miiverse user TheLink551 posted a drawing on the old messaging system that parodies this, and thus Bigley gained traction. Don&#8217;t believe us? <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/bigley\">Go check it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bigley even got his own game, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu-eshop\/bigleys_revenge\">Bigley&#8217;s Revenge<\/a>, in 2016. And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu-eshop\/bigleys_revenge\">the less we say about that, the better<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reversi 32 launches on 28th April on the Wii U eShop and will only <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.co.uk\/Games\/Wii-U-download-software\/Reversi-32-2199578.html#Overview\">cost you \u00a38.19<\/a>. A steal, we say! So if you still have your Wii U, will you be picking up Reversi 32? Why not let us know and show your Wii U love in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content]Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube Okay, we&#8217;ll stop speculating when the last Wii U game will hit us.
