Bertil Hörberg’s next game is in development for the 3DS eShop, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise based on Gunman Clive’s success.

Although it’s “very early in development and a lot of the design isn’t finalized”, Hörberg has revealed that the project is “very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games.” The title features a top-down perspective with 3D visuals.

Hörberg told Siliconera:

It’s still very early in development and a lot of the design isn’t finalized, but it’s very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games; it uses a topdown perspective with 3D graphics and it’s for the 3DS. The artstyle is fairly different from the new Zelda but has some influences from [A Link to the Past] as well, so yes I think comparisons will certainly be made [to A Link to the Past 2].

I think most players realize that my resources are rather more limited though and I wouldn’t presume to be in direct competition with Nintendo. I just hope people will be up for a bit more old-school action adventure gameplay regardless.

It has been a long wait for Shantae’s arrival on the 3DS eShop as a Virtual Console download, but its arrival is just on the horizon. WayForward confirmed on its blog today that the Game Boy Color classic will launch on June 20. That date applies to North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Nice to see Shantae getting a worldwide release this time around!

“Seek the inconceivable truth of the Starship Damrey and discover why nothing is more frightening than complete innocence.”



Well, the games have been voted on and after an extremely tight race, The Starship Damrey was chosen as our second ever NintendoEverything Book Club (for Video Games!) game! Read below for details on how to get it/what to play.


3DS eShop Copy ($8)


“How far do I have to get this week?”
Deadline for email submissions this week: May 24th

It’s going to be very difficult to divide The Starship Damrey into parts because we all have zero idea exactly how the game is sectioned off (or if the game is sectioned off). What we decided was that we’ll all play roughly two hours of the game, and whoever among the podcast crew got the least far is where we’ll discuss up until.

For you guys? Play as you will. It’s not a very long game from what we’re hearing (2-3 hours), so if you beat it in the first week it’s not a huge deal. Otherwise I’ll try and post more specifics this Thursday or Friday so you have a more concrete idea of where to stop.

Also, please do not send us emails discussing portions of the game beyond where the book club is. We want to avoid spoilers and we don’t want to feel unable to answer your questions/respond to your comments, so if you’ve gotten ahead of everyone (which is fine!) do your best to only talk about the parts that we’ve all agreed upon. :]
