Although not essentially considered one of many all-time greats, it was actually well-received and went on to promote a rare quantity of copies inside a really quick timeframe; reportedly over 18 million in simply two weeks.
Naturally, then, which means some form of knock-off has inevitably appeared on the Nintendo Change eShop, although the exceedingly blatant nature of this one has made it needed for us to not less than warn you to not fall for such shenanigans.
Revealed by ‘World Recreation Studio’ (what a terrific, authentic identify!), Wukong Solar: Black Legend launched late final yr in North America and turned up on EU eShops on Friday. It bears completely no resemblance to Recreation Science’s 3D title, as an alternative providing a woefully animated 2D motion recreation with bland visuals and a fundamental protagonist that appears nothing like its key artwork.

Talking of which, the important thing artwork is what makes us involved about this recreation’s potential attain amongst extra informal Change players. Together with the sport’s identify, it actually feels prefer it’s been created to particularly dupe individuals into believing that there is some professional connection between Wukong Solar: Black Legend and Black Delusion: Wukong.
