Top Sellers On The Wii U eShop

Wario Turns Pokémon Into Evil Little Creatures

Hoenn would turn into a post-apocalyptic region in days with Wario-like Pokémon running around.

Here’s a whole bunch of “WaPokémon”, check out Dorkly’s gallery for more. To contact the author of this…

Diablo III With WoW’s Camera Looks Like a Totally Different Game

Diablo III and all its predecessors have a fixed camera with an isometric view. We can zoom in, but basically that’s it.
