Indie developer Wolfgame has confirmed “Gunpop” for the Wii U eShop.
Unfortunately, not much information has been shared at present. We do know that it’s based in Unity, and based on the title, one would assume that guns will be involved in some fashion.

Aonuma talks the scale of Zelda Wii U, thinks of Kyoto as his base
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 21 Comments
As part of an interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, MMGN asked how big of an open world we can expect in the new Wii U game. Aonuma responded by saying that he uses Kyoto as his base.
Check out the conversation between the two below:
MMGN: This is the first truly open world in a Zelda game — you showed how Zelda has progressed since the NES in terms of map layout and movement — so in the biggest world yet, how “big” can we expect?
Mr. Aonuma: In terms of the scale of the new Zelda world on Wii U, I always think of Kyoto as my base.
Do you know Kyoto?
Ummm…a little [laughs]
MMGN also asked how the team plans to reward players for exploring the world of Zelda Wii U. Aonuma’s response was interesting, with him noting that it comes down to gaining “acquired experience” that helps you progress further and better reach your goals.
