The First 15 Minutes of Mighty Switch Force! 2 (Wii U)
FFirst15Copied from MobyGames: Patricia Wagon returns, but this time as a firefighter. Tangent City is on fire, and it's up to Officer Wagon and Corporal Gendarmor to save the day. Gameplay-wise, the game is very similar to the original Mighty Switch Force!, a puzzle-platformer-shooter where the player must maneuver through the level, shooting down enemies and switching blocks in and out of the level. But this time, Patty Wagon's armed with a fire hose and must rescue the now reformed Hooligan Sisters instead of arresting them, along with putting out fires. Fire is everywhere, not only making it time consuming to put it out, but potentially hurting Officer Wagon. New gameplay mechanics are new types of blocks, such as mud blocks that can be dissolved with water and pipe blocks that redirect the water stream, and the mission of seeking out the lost USBs (Ugly Secret Babies) hidden in each level. As in the first game, each incident has a target clear time.7 views -

The monkey still likes to kidnap and the player has to complete levels helping Minis, wind-up toy versions of Mario and other characters, while solving puzzles.

This is done by leading enemies away, covering traps, building or removing girders and adding or removing springs. Some levels have a character that needs to be freed and guided to safety. Other elements are escalators, conveyors with different directions, free-form building blocks, spikes to avoid, hammers to defeat Donkey Kongs blocking paths, toy Donkey Kongs with cannons heads, cursed Minis that need to be reclaimed etc. Levels are grouped per eight and each group introduces a new mechanic before mixing them up.9 views -
The First 15 Minutes of Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
FFirst15Copied from LaunchBox Games Database: The gameplay maintains the traditional elements of previous Mario Kart games, mostly from the two recent installments on the Wii and 3DS respectively. Karts can be customized once again, alongside the returning bikes, which handle similar to the karts now, and the newly introduced buggies. The hang-glider and underwater mechanics also return, as well as Coins, with the player being able to collect up to ten in one race as in Mario Kart 7. The newest feature for the series is anti-gravitational segments, that not only allow for more dynamic track design, but also for racers to drive across walls and ceilings. When in anti-gravity, if a racer bumps into another racer, the kart spins rather than just bumping and both racers receive a speed boost. Courses from previous Mario Kart games will be included, and both the game's anti-gravity mechanic, as well as Mario Kart 7 's "air, land, and sea" mechanic will be incorporated.4 views
