Dakko Dakko has discussed the different elements of Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails as part of an interview with Nintendo Life.

First up, lead designer Rhodri Broadbent and producer Dan Croucher shared the following about TV and GamePad usage:

RB: Yeah, we let you swap if you want to, if you want to play on the TV that’s one of the strengths of the Wii U that you can change it. But the game is designed for the intimate immediacy of having it right in front of you on the GamePad. So, you control with the left stick and you can shoot as much as you like with infinite ammo. You also have a charged slash attack that you hold down and then release to spin around, and there’s a special jump that you have to experience to understand, as you have to jump and get pulled back in by gravity, a sort of magnetic leash.

And yet the whole time the player is looking at the GamePad, the TV is freed up to display extra information and might help or just be fun to watch.

DC: The TV shows the gameplay as well, so you can follow what’s going on and be excited about things, but then it cuts away to useful info or things you need to collect, just cool stuff. It’s designed for other people in the room, primarily, to entertain / bring extra commentary / give a sports broadcast. You can’t really look at it when you’re playing because it’s so fast, it’s not really possible apart from those key points where it gives extra information.

RB: With the sort of games we make you’re always going to have to be focused on the main screen. When I used to play games with my brother growing up, he used to say “why didn’t you go over there”, so we decided to feed into that and really play it up as we have the second screen, let’s encourage people to get involved with the game.

DC: When I used to play games like this on the Amiga there’d be a quick turnaround, throwing the controller around and waiting for your turn. With this it’s something you can be involved in while you’re waiting for your go.

Some users have been expereicning lock up issues with Wii Fit U due to issues stemming from Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus save transfers.

At the very least, Nintendo is aware of the situation. The Big N says you may encounter problems if any of the following conditions are met:

Two or more sets of user data were created in Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus and the data created earlier was deleted.

A Mii character used in Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus is registered in the Wii U Mii Maker.

The data from Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus is transferred to the Wii U.

One would hope that a patch is already in the works. Hopefully we’ll see an update soon!

Expect to see TV ads starting at launch up through December 25th. Nintendo has also looked into ads for specialist websites and social media.

“The Legend of Zelda series is a cornerstone franchise for us and always performs very positively. We achieved some great results with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D in 2011. With the increased Nintendo 3DS install base as well as seasonality we are confident in A Link between Worlds being a top seller on Nintendo 3DS.

“To herald the Launch of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds we will have a substantial marketing campaign both pre and post launch. We will also have bespoke activity aimed at a kids audience showcasing the characters and ingenious gameplay.”
