I don't think I've ever heard anything about it regarding a Wii release (and if there was, it probably was years before its general release on Steam/PC/whatever in 2011).

So this game is coming out on 3DS now, but exclusive to the New 3DS. I think I'll download it when it comes out, I've heard enough praise for it.

I'm not a fan of the game, though I won't deny its quality. Just know what you're getting into.

I hope it's discounted if you bought other Nicalis games, they did that on Nintendo systems with their last game.

I can vouch for the PSVita version. Perfect summer house vacation game, it has a vast amount of content without the need of an internet connection.

I bought the new 3DS verion, my first impression is positive. I'm not sure how much content it will have, but I'll give it a chance. I'm sort of waiting for them to update the game before playing more though (I heard the last update made the game worse).

If you're trying to be a completionist, it has a good amount of content. I believe it took me slightly over 100 hours to unlock everything. They also have a hefty expansion coming up.

I keep hearing high hours like that but I guess it'll depend on how much I like the core gameplay. I enjoyed the first hour I played.

I've been playing it a lot more lately and liking it. It's a really good portable game, real pick up and play kind of game. I love getting to the third floor or so and seeing how much gear your have and how much stronger you are. I just beat Mom for the first time yesterday, unfortunately skiped the cut scene by accident so I have no idea what happened at the end :p

There's a crazy amount of stuff to find. Is there generally only 5 or so floors?
