Affordable Space Adventures getting 5 new levels this summer, DLC planned
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
KnapNok Games and Nifflas Games have announced the development of a new patch slated for summer. It will introduce five “extremely difficult levels” that “have been designed to take advantage of every single feature of the Small Craft, including some that players might not even be aware existed.”
Along with new levels, the upcoming update will also address a number of issues reported by players, including bug fixes.
Discussing today’s news KnapNok Games’ Lau Korsgaard also revealed plans for paid DLC. He said:
We had lots of ideas for very tricky puzzles that we couldn’t find room for in the final release of the game. We hope the community will take on the challenge of these new levels. Besides this free update, we still have lots of other plans for Affordable Space Adventures. In the future, we want to release a more substantial update as paid DLC that will expand the universe of Affordable Space Adventures and tell another chapter of the Uexplore story”.

3D platformer Poi in the works for Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
PolyKid has announced that its indie project known as “Poi” is bound for Wii U. The developer is taking inspiration from the likes of Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Super Mario Sunshine.
Poi is a 3D platformer that follows the journey of a rambunctious kid on an adventure to become a master explorer. Throughout their journey, players will run, jump, flip, slide, and swim to earn explorer medallions and uncover hidden secrets scattered across the world. The platformer features larger exploration-based levels and smaller, more intense platforming challenges.
Poi will be on Kickstarter in early July. A trailer will be shared sometime next month as well. You can view a set of screenshots in the gallery below, along with a teaser.

Humble Nindie Bundle ends with over 82,000 bundles sold
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 12 Comments
The Humble Nindie Bundle offer has now come to an end. All in all, it did quite well.
Just before the bundle offer ended and the main page refreshed, I noticed that nearly 82,500 digital packages were sold. Additionally, the average price paid came in at $9.18. Based on that information, the Humble Nindie Bundle should have generated somewhere around $750,000.
Nintendo of America’s Damon Baker was the top contributor with $500. PlayEveryWare came in second with $225, followed by Choice Provisions at $200.
You could say that this initiative was a success, so hopefully we’ll see more Humble Nindie Bundles in the future.

ZaciSa’s Last Stand patch 1.2 out on Thursday in North America
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
ZeNfA Productions announced today that the new patch for ZaciSa’s Last Stand is due out this Thursday in North America. The update will bring the game up to version 1.2.
ZaciSa’s Last Stand’s latest patch adds a whole bunch of content and makes a number of changes. The full outline is posted below, along with a trailer.
- 60 FPS Gameplay and other major game improvements.
- 4 Brand New Maps
- PING 1.5+ – Indie Cross-over Map featuring PING 1.5+
- BLOK DROP U – Indie Cross-over Map featuring BLOK DROP U
- GAF – Fun extra map. Be sure to upgrade to GAF GOLD!
- Pollux System – Defend your outpost station orbiting the Pollux Star. Watch out for those solar flares!
- New Game Mode: Insanity Mode
- Focusing the game on speed and the chaos it brings,the mode starts out with faster enemies and more enemies to keep up with. Designed with chaos in mind, each level features a random Special Event that can either help you or harm you. This Special Event can help you, such as enemies for that level having reduced health or enemies giving you double the money or score points. Or, this can possibly sink you with enemies moving at much faster speeds or the dreaded Double or Triple Enemy Spawns to overwhelm you. How lucky are you?
- Online Leaderboards
- All maps will now have Online Leaderboards for each of the following Modes: Hard, Insanity & Endurance.
- Can you crack the top 100?
- Top Five Average!
- Another new Online Leaderboard feature is the Top Five Average! This new ranked feature will take your top 5 Online Scores in each of the eligible modes (Hard, Insanity & Endurance), combine them and average them to get your new score. This combined score will be ranked among others in each of the modes mentioned. Allowing for a new way to face off against your friends and strangers across the world!
- Miiverse Posting
- Want to show off your brand new score on any of the maps? Use the new Mivierse Post button to post to Miiverse! Will automatically attack a screenshot of your game’s map last second before total destruction to show off your strategy.
- New Weapon Bot: Tesla Coil Bot
- Brand new high level bot that zaps at enemies quickly and forms chains to reach enemies well beyond its range. As you increase its chain ability, this will become a very powerful new weapon to unleash on your enemies.
- 2 New Enemies
- Not to be outdone, the enemy has some brand new tricks up it’s sleeves. These brand new enemies are featured later in the game to help ensure their universal dominance.
- Spe’d Bug: A fast little ship that does little damage but is capable at moving fast and is a pro at cutting through your defenses like butter.
- The Destroyer 2.0: The mothership. Even though it’s very slow, its capable of doing a lot of damage to your bases. Better watch out, as it will spawn brand new enemies to distract you.
- 5X Game Speed
- Want to watch each level fly by? Well, now you can. This will allow you to reach higher levels even quicker then before. Due to the chaos in Insanity Mode, 5X Game Speed is omitted however.
- GulAtiCa Bank Loans
- Need a little extra pick-me-up? GulAtiCa’s Services are here to help! For a small service charge of course. Take out a new loan to help fight off those nasty evildoers. While a loan is active, rewarded money & score from enemies is reduced until the loan is paid off. Once the loan is paid off automatically or manually in advance, things will return to normal. Better pay off that loan before gameover though!
- Other various game improvements and changes.
Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town rated for Wii U by the ESRB, should be hitting the VC soon
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
The ESRB rating for Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town has been updated with an additional platform.
Unsurprisingly, that system is Wii U.
Natsume has a whole bunch of GBA games lined up for the Wii U Virtual Console, and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town should be one of them. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was one of the Virtual Console titles in North America this week.
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures rated in Australia for probable Virtual Console release
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures has been rated in Australia. Given similar ratings in the past, this should be a sign of an eventual Virtual Console release. Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures originally hit the SNES (and SEGA Genesis), so it should wind up on the Wii U eShop.
