I’m rusty as hell, and that puts a damper on would-be marathon sessions. But the new four-player co-op horde mode, Salmon Run? That’s the ticket right there....

Well, just ‘Zombi’ now To date,ZombiUhas been one of the best (and only) non-Nintendo published Wii U exclusives. It has turned into something of a cult classic, as many have praised the way that it felt more like a survival game and resisted turning into a high-octane shooter.
