Demon's Crystals is a "Get What You Pay For" kind of game. At $4.99, you find yourself the owner of a fun, quick, twin-stick shooter. That's it.

As a budget title for the Wii U at a mere $1.99, it may be worth your while if you've ever been curious as to what the big deal was with Flappy Bird.

Read MoreFamily Tennis SP is a budget title tennis game for the Wii U that makes me feel like the motion control phase never happened. Like Wii Tennis without the motion control, it provides a fun, if simplistic experience best suited to those up for a challenge.
