During the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, Inti Creates president Takuya Aizu was on hand to show new footage from Azure Striker Gunvolt 2. Attendees also got a look at a new boss and song.

Here’s what we know thus far:

– Is a 3DS exclusive for the time being
– More footage might be coming around summer of 2016 (very tentative)
– Some playable version of the game also may be released in summer (very tentative)
– There will be more stage-mashup (Gauntlet) levels in Gunvolt 2
– Will re-use pixel art assets from the first game
– The resolution and graphics are also planned to be the same
– The transition from GV1 to GV2 will reportedly be similar to the first and second Mega Man Zero games
– No word yet on whether Dullahan will be back
– The sequel will be around the same length as the first game: around 8-10 hours
– There might be an actual, happy ending in GV2
– There will evidently be “something surprising” in the game’s story
– The checkpoint markers in the trailer apparently look “Copen style”
– The gameplay in the trailer looks very much the same as the first game

Gunslugs 2 will be out on the North American and European 3DS eShop on Thursday. For those that are curious, the game takes up 181 blocks of space on an SD card. You’ll need roughly 23MB, which is quite small!

A new week means some new content in Pokemon Shuffle.

First of all, some new main stages have been added, starting with stage #231, Grimer.

The Mega Banette competition has also gone live. Placing in the top 65,000 in Japan, 16,000 in Europe and 23,000 in the US gets you a Banettite. If you place in the top 5,000 in Japan, 1,000 in Europe and 1,500 in the US, you also get a Mega Speedup on top of that. Placing in the top 80,000 in Japan, 19,000 in Europe and 28,000 in the US gets you one Attack Power Up. Everyone else who participates get a Jewel.

Finally, the Giratina Escalation Battle makes a return. If you haven’t caught the powerful Ghost type previously, now’s your chance.

Indie title Pixel Noir already its Kickstarter goal a few weeks back. SWDTech Games was only seeking $30,000, but that goal was surpassed less than two weeks into the campaign.

Even though Pixel Noir’s Kickstarter has nearly come to a close, a new stretch goal was just reached which will certainly please Nintendo fans. Having secured $50,000, SWDTech Games will be bringing its new project to 3DS.

Pixel Noir is a JRPG-inspired detective game, and true to its title, features a film noir backdrop. SWDTech Games says it’s sort of like a mix between Earthbound and Sin City. The game features turn-based combat, a city to explore, investigation elements, and even a Shovel Knight crossover.

You can learn more about Pixel Noir on the Kickstarter page here.

Update (10/17): Nintendo’s latest maintenance plans have been changed again. First, there will no longer be shop maintenance. Nintendo Network ID maintenance is still taking place at the times listed originally (see the very bottom of this post). Finally, Wii U and 3DS online features (rankings, etc.) will be down on Monday at the following times:

– 2 PM PT – 7 PM PT
– 5 PM ET – 10 PM ET
– 10 PM in the UK – 3 AM in the UK (Tuesday)
– 11 PM in Europe – 4 AM in Europe (Tuesday)

Update (10/16): Bumped to the top. The “All” maintenance we mentioned previously has now been updated to say “Using Nintendo Network ID”. So in addition to eShop maintenance, Nintendo Network ID will also be affected.

Original (10/14): Nintendo’s various online shops will be undergoing maintenance on Monday. That includes the Wii U and 3DS eShops, Wii Shopping Channel, and DSi Shop.

The maintenance period is planned for the following times:

– 1 PM PT – 5 PM PT
– 4 PM ET – 8 PM ET
– 9 PM in the UK – 1 AM in the UK (Tuesday)
– 10 PM in Europe – 2 AM in Europe (Tuesday)

For Wii U and 3DS, in addition to eShop maintenance, Nintendo listed “All”. I’m not quite sure what that means, but perhaps something else will be affected aside from the eShops.

Ghost Police, a “a non-shooting shooter” with a retro art style, is already guaranteed to happen. However, the project just recently launched a Kickstarter in hopes of adding some extra bells and whistles. One stretch goal in the campaign would allow for a 3DS version.

In Ghost Police, players manipulate the world by using a special brush of sorts. Players will be navigating two ships simultaneous through two overlapping levels of obstacles and enemies, though power-ups – which increase the size of your brush and your timer gauge – will help you along the way.

Ghost Police’s main funding goal is £10,500, and if that goal is met, Jake Kaufman will be brought in to handle the soundtrack. The 3DS stretch goal lies further out at £100,000.

You can find Ghost Police’s Kickstarter here.
