How does it differ from the original (game cube) game?

I have never played the GameCube version, but from what I know, its more efficient. This game really takes advantage of the Game-Pad, looking at your map while playing the game is much easier with the second screen, and that goes for selecting your gear and aiming where you want the wind to go with your wind waker while looking at your map. And of course, this game just really pops out in HD, the cel shading is much more expressive here, but in terms of the main game, nothing really has changed, its just more efficient, and since the GameCube version is really expensive anyway, if you have a Wii U, I recommend this version.

There is also new integrated functionality with the WiiU community: Players can make and receive message bottles from the ocean; ones the player receives are usually useful tips or else general discussion about love for the series. You can also now take selfies using the game's camera items. ON top of this, the navigation through the UI is all but alleviated thanks to the second screen of the WiiU. I highly recommend this remake.

The graphics are in HD, there is a new item called the swift sail which makes sailing much easier and faster, but other than that, it's mostly the same.

Well, unlike in the gamecube version, you can sail much better and farther than in the original, the graphics are better since the game is in HD, the color is sharper, new environments and the game is just as much fun to play if not more so than the original, but that's just my opinion.

The new game has updated visuals and small tasks such as location of items changing. Otherwise the game is mostly the same from the original. Having played the game cube version I still strongly recommend picking this up if you have a wii u as it's a blast with replay.ability

I know of no differences. The look exactly a like and are the same dimension as the ones from Cubie. I bought two from Sunfounder and they both are running software from Cubie.org

The rules are the same. There is an extra dice, but it makes the game a bit more interesting. There is an extra real estate for all the colors and you dont need to own them all in order to start placing houses and hotels.

The graphics are slightly different than I remember. For instance, the ghost looked more like a torso attached to a giant foot in the version I had a long time ago. Also, I don't remember if the original had things on the back of some of the tiles, but in this one there are symbols that can be used for more complex game play. And the player pieces are more detailed. If memory serves, they were a lot like 'Sorry!' pieces, but in this one they are wizards/sorcerers and a sorceress. And of course, this version comes in a nice tin box as opposed to a cardboard one.

I purchased this game and also own munchkin. The concepts are slightly similar but the game play is different. King of Tokyo is very dependent on the roll of the dice. The game play is quick and can involve many different strategies. I would recommend owning both games. I honestly didn't think of comparing the two games until you posed the question. Hope this helps.

It appears to be an updated version. It's a nice game, but not the original that we played when we were kids. It does look very similar,however.

It is the original game. Only the pieces have been updated so that the characters look more like people. The rules and the weapons have remained the same.

Absolutely. This isn't a continuation of the first game. This is a version of the first game with expanded game play. Set-up and reading the instructions is simple and you should be able to play and understand the game pretty quickly.

In the basic game they are more of just "tokens" so you can see who is in Tokyo and who is out. No special features...they are all the same. The special features come from the cards you buy-- extra dice, extra points, on-going damage attacks, etc.... Basically: Everyone starts out the same, and then you build your own abilities based on the cards available (maybe someone else buys it before you can!) and the "money/energy" you have aquired.In the expansion, though (I don't have it, but have looked into it because the base game is AMAZING and I want more!), it looks as though the monsters will start with different abilities.

The game is essentially the same, same characters, same plot, same choices and so on, the only difference that I know of is the much enhanced graphics and a whole bunch of extra content that give more insight in what happens inbetween the story events and give extra info about characters personalities, not only the main characters but others as well. I have the DS-version as well which is also the same but without the extra content but I still recommend buying this too but if added bonus content is not important to you then there is nothing exactly new in the game story wise.

I only played the original game once loved it but wanted the bigger board. In the Jumbo version the chips I think are bigger as the board is huge the colors are Blue, Red and Green. Hope that helps.

Qwirkle Cubes has the one added element of rethrowing the dice - all in all they are pretty similiar games and i would definitely not have both but if i had to choose one i would go with the cubes for sure.

From my experience of playig both versions, i would say this one is less buggy and glitchy. A lot of time in the regular version i would get stuck in a moutain or tight spot. It was annoying. But i never had any problems like that im this one.

The only difference is a few extra cards, it's just the newest version of the original. If you were thinking about getting a new fluxx game i would suggest getting one of the specialty games like pirate fluxx or Monty Python fluxx. That way you could play them separately or mix the decks together.

The newer version is virtually identical to the old. It actually has more words (I think) because each card has 4 'Taboo' words. The only thing I didn't like about the new game were the card holders and the buzzer. The card holders are not separated, so that is inconvenient. The buzzer is no longer a buzzer, but rather it sounds like a dog toy when you squeeze it. So the game is the same, if not better. But the accessories are not what I would have liked. Hope this helps!

I don't believe there is a difference, not one that I am aware of at least. It's a fun game though I can tell you that!

Amazon asked me to answer your question and I don't know why. I was not selling a Sorry game. I bought one for my Grandson. If you're asking is it the same game as the original, it is. However, the graphics on the front are different and the game pieces and board seemed roughly the same as well.
