Pokemon Shuffle details, including pricing
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
The Pokemon Company distributed new information about Pokemon Shuffle today. We have details about quite a few things, including pricing. Check out all of the tidbits in the roundup below.
– Free-to-play, as previously mentioned
– Stamina system: get 5 hearts and use a heart every time you play a stage (win or lose)
– Takes time for hearts to recover
– Initially thought to be 15 minutes, but images show 30 minutes
– Expedite recovery by buying hearts in the store using the in-game currency, gems
– Can obtain gems through StreetPass
– There are also in-app purchases
– 1 Gem = 100 Yen ($0.84 so will probably be $1 in the US)
– Can then purchase either hearts or coins
– Coins can be used to buy items to make stages easier, or Great Balls to make capture of Pokemon more likely.
– Pricing scheme:
Hearts
5 Hearts = 1 Gem
20 Hearts = 3 Gems
45 Hearts = 6 Gems
75 Hearts = 10 Gems
Coins
5000 Coins = 1 Gem
20000 Coins = 3 Gems
45000 Coins = 6 Gems
75000 Coins = 10 Gems
– To get 75 hearts would be 1,000 yen (roughly $8)
– Somewhere around 160 Pokemon/stages
– 1 Pokemon per stage
– Charizard and Mewtwo have two entries due to two Mega Evolutions
– Those looking to run through the game as quickly as possible using the stamina feature and without losing a single match (just paying for hearts) would need to spend 2,300 yen (assuming there aren’t any extra stages with duplicates etc.)
– The idea is to play it over time and not 100% it as fast as possible

Cosmochoria’s Wii U version put on hold
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
The Wii U version of Cosmochoria is in serious trouble. In a Kickstarter update, creator Nate Schmold explained that he has experienced issues getting the game to run through Construct 2 on the Nintendo Web Framework.
Ultimately, Cosmochoria has been put on hold for Wii U, though it hasn’t been cancelled entirely. “The goal is to focus all my efforts on making Cosmochoria as extraordinarily dope as I can for the full launch and work towards using a successful launch as a platform to form relationships with either an outside publisher or development team in order to make a Wii U port a possibility,” Schmold wrote.
Those who backed Cosmochoria specifically for the Wii U version are being given an opportunity to request a refund. Pledges can also be transferred to the PC version.
Read on below for the full status report on Cosmochoria for Wii U.
