To be able to purchase content for Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems, a Nintendo Network ID is also required and your funds usable through the Nintendo Account must be merged with the funds tied to your Nintendo Network ID. The only reason I can think the developer implemented this is to stop the player spamming reload, making the game too easy, but a cool down on the reload or accuracy requirement to complete the level would have been much more effective. The reticle feels floaty on screen compared to the movement of the controller and suffers severely from drift. Not only that but each level has secondary objectives to complete such as shooting 8 incoming bullets, shooting 15 crates or boxes or shooting a certain number of enemies.

The reticle was either pinned to the top and bottom of the screen with next to no room for movement on screen to aim rendering the game completely unplayable. Remember, even if the Joy-Cons reticule’s start to wander or aren’t centred, all you need to do is press the B button to re-centre it or go to pause menu and re-calibrate it there. Shooting crates and barrels can unearth a few different power-ups or collectables such as the death bomb, multiplier bonus and gold coins. After being stuck in the game, I started using the right Joy-Con so that I could access the home button. Of course there is a button to recenter your aim but here is where the real problem with the controls lies for me.You either duel weld two joy-cons and pretend your rogue cowboy or pass one them controllers to a friend or partner and have someone along for the ride.

This is actually handy if you need to recenter your aim and get a full clip at the same time but the problem is the reverse, every time you need to reload, it re centers your reticle to the centre of the screen. When you have another player, you can use another joy-con, and both of you can be differentiated on-screen through either a red or blue reticle.It’s so frustrating because the game looks great and is actually really fun when you not having issues with the controls. Mad Bullets is a typical title I had never heard of, and it was only through my own ventures, that I found this title and have to say that this is one of those gems that you need to look into. Overall, Mad Bullets is a breath of fresh air and pays respect to the light gun games of yesteryear. If you’re still feeling lonely, you have 3 other friends blasting away with you thanks to game supporting four players!
