If you pick up Shadow Puppeteer on the eShop today, it’s highly recommended that you play directly from the Wii U’s storage. Unfortunately, performance is drastically impacted if the download is being read from an external hard drive. The game’s developers to intend to patch things in the future, but until then, definitely be aware of the potential issues you may encounter.

“We have found that playing the game from an external hard drive will make the game run slower because the read/write rate of the hard drive. Of course we want everyone to be able to play the game, from external hard drives too, so we will make sure to address this in our patches. Until then we recommend that the game is played directly from the Wii U.”

System: Wii U (eShop)
Release date: January 28, 2016
Developer: Sarepta Studio
Publisher Snow Cannon Games

The premise of Shadow Puppeteer is simple: one night, a boy and his shadow are separated by a strange man playing a music box. From there, the journey consists of chasing him down throughout gloomy Tim Burton-esque levels. The game has you controlling the boy and his shadow individually with the controller being split by its left and right sides – each analogue stick controls a character with the buttons on their respective sides being used for jumping and other interactions. If you played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the concept should seem familiar. Where this differs is that you control the boy in a 3D space and his shadow along the surfaces of the environment, interacting with other shadows as a 2D platformer. The two ideas on their own aren’t exactly unique, but fusing them together provides plenty of puzzling levels.
