The gameplay in Tropical Freeze has not changed in any major ways from Returns, though the infamous flower blowing mechanic has been removed. Otherwise, players will feel right at home with the Wii Remote and Remote with Nunchuk options still available. If you prefer the set-up in the Nintendo 3DS remake, you can also opt for the Wii U GamePad or Wii U Pro Controller. These control options allow you to choose the D-Pad and the sticks, depending on which you find more comfortable. One element that I do have to bring up is how the Wii U GamePad is used. If you are playing on the television, the touchscreen will have nothing displayed on it and it stays blank the entire time. There are no options to quickly select levels or see simple information displayed. If you are going for off-TV play, it is the same deal as nothing will be displayed on the television. It is not the worst thing ever, but it made me want to use the GamePad less and that can't be what Nintendo and Retro Studios wanted. For most of the journey, I went with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for that reason. It is more involving and the simple shakes make you feel like an ape inside.
