Yeah the Wii U version looks worse, controls worse, and somehow runs worse. I think they farmed out the port and they bungled it up

Prope developed the Wii version to completion for kadokawa, who sat on it for years until farming out a 3DS/WiiU port/redo that's a lot worse. It makes the game a lot more standard with meter-limited flight when the whole gimmick was being able to point and click fly anywhere. I only played a bit but it seemed fun as a take on a wiimote-centric action game

yeah on paper "point at stuff with the wiimote and waggle to fly toward it" doesn't sound great but it actually feels pretty good

From what I can tell on Google, it looks like it was released only in Japan, and for original Xbox? So like 5 people total bought this game.

galaxy angel was based on a game, not the other way around.

the game's plot is also a lot more serious than the anime's, even though the cast is the same.

water worlds.

I feel like way too many ice worlds cram christmassy stuff in there; sleigh bells, jingles, whatever. meanwhile off the top of my head, when I think of water levels, I think of aquatic ambiance as above, or Lower Maridia, or Dire, Dire Docks:

there's of course way more recent stuff but I always felt water levels were way more varied than ice levels

it's real hard to pick between megaman ice and water level themes. thinking about the SNES x games, like X1 has chill penguin which rules but it also has launch octopus which ALSO rules. I think I like octopus's more.

bubble crab has one of the most iconic x themes, so good they reused it later in the series. but I gotta say, crystal snail's theme is so loving good, one of my all time favorite x themes. gotta give it to snail here, tough choice.

X3 has blizzard buffalo which is pretty good but it also has toxic seahorse which is rad.
