Gunman Clive 2 dev still interested in Wii U port
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Last June, Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg suggested that the sequel could be ported over to Wii U. This is something that Hörberg reiterated on his Twitter account today.
It sounds like Hörberg originally intended to first port Gunman Clive 2 to platforms that the first game was on, followed by consoles such as Wii U. It’s not entirely clear if that’s still the plan.
Hörberg’s tweets are as follows:
I was planning to start working on ports directly after the 3DS release; also still have some bugs to fix

slightly more excited to port to Wii U and other consoles, but the plan was to start with the platforms GC1 was on

Pokemon Shuffle details, including pricing
Posted on 9 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
