The Wii U’s Getting A New Game Today, Just In Time For Christmas

<p>Loading up the Wii U eShop doesn’t tend to result in many new games or exciting updates these days, but thanks to a release arriving on the system’s digital shelves today, owners of Nintendo’s discontinued system can finally get stuck into something new.</p>
<p>Well, we say new, but the game in question is <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/wiiu-eshop/commander_keen_in_keen_dreams_definitive_edition">Commander Keen in Keen Dreams: Definitive Edition</a></strong>, a title that <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/commander_keen_in_keen_dreams_definitive_edition">launched on Switch</a> earlier this year and one that was already a remake of a DOS game from the ’90s. Still, <em>the Wii U will take what it can get</em>.</p>
<p>And in all seriousness, it’s great to see a publisher taking the time to launch a game on the Wii U at all. This Definitive Edition release reworks the original and adds new features, levels and more:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Commander Keen is back. In the modernised Definitive Edition of the lost episode “Keen Dream”, Keen has to fend off a nasty nightmare about evil vegetables. The Definitive Edition features full widescreen support, twelve all-new levels – doubling the length over the 1990 original – and a full music score. The game structure has been reworked to make the game a more modern experience without sacrificing any of the original charm!</p>

<p>As it happens, this week we decided to boot up a load of Wii U games to see if people were still playing the system online.
