Gunman Clive 2 dev says the game’s sales have “been a bit disappointing” compared to the first title
Gunman Clive 2’s sales have “been a bit disappointing” when compared to the series’ first entry, creator Bertil Hörberg has said.
Writing about Gunman Clive 2’s performance on Twitter, Hörberg stated:
For those asking, GC2 sales has been a bit disappointing compared to GC1, but I'll survive
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) April 13, 2015
Hörberg had a brief exchange with Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham, and acknowledged that his expectations may have been a bit too high while also noting that not enough was done to promote Gunman Clive 2.
@JoolsWatsham Probably mostly my expectations being too high after getting lucky with GC1 and being bad at promoting the game
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) April 13, 2015
Sales of the first Gunman Clive surpassed 400,000 units in February. It did particularly well on the 3DS.
Several guest characters are joining Runbow, 13AM Games’ upcoming Wii U eShop exclusive. The lineup includes Shovel Knight, Rusty (SteamWorld Dig), Juan and Tostada (Guacamelee), Swift Thornebrooke (Sportsball), Scram Kitty (Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails), and Bit.Trip’s CommanderVideo and CommandgirlVideo.
You can watch a new trailer below showing the newly-revealed
Runbow is due out on the Wii U eShop sometime in Q3 of this year.
Those who purchase the Wii U version of Rodea: The Sky Solider will be treated to a special bonus. NIS America is including a copy of the original Wii title, which was how creator Yuji Naka envisioned the game.
In Japan, the Wii version had its own separate disc. We weren’t sure if this would be the case in the west as well, but NIS America has since confirmed this to be the case.
The publisher wrote on Twitter today:
Public #Rodea Announcement! The Wii version of the game will indeed be on its own physical disc bundled with first-print Wii U versions!

It’ll be interesting to see what NIS America does with the Wii boxart. Will they use the Japanese version (see above), or something new?
Nintendo uploaded another video from Mario Kart 8 today. This time around, we get a look at the Mute City track with the 200cc class.

Update: The dream seems to be dead (thanks EdLambdaTeos). This goes back as far as November of last year, with a GameFAQs member claiming to have found a file with similar contents as what’s posted below. The same user said last week that he made the whole thing up. Doh!
Mario Kart 8 has a file system with a listing of tracks and corresponding streaming audio. Following the release of the game’s first round of DLC, there were 8 tracks in the pack and 13 entries.
Here’s a listing of what we received from the initial batch of downloadable content:
GC_YOSHI_CIRCUIT = GCN Yoshi Circuit
SFC_RAINBOW_ROAD = SNES Rainbow Road
WII_WARIOSMINE = Wii Wario’s Gold Mine
WU_DRAGONROAD = Dragon Driftway
WU_EXCITEBIKE = Excitebike Arena
WU_HYRULE = Hyrule Circuit
WU_ICEPARK = Ice Ice Outpost
WU_MUTECITY = Mute City
These tracks were also included, but did not show up as DLC:
3DS_NEOBOWSERCITY = 3DS Neo Bowser City
GC_BABYPARK = GCN Baby Park
WU_ANIMAL = Animal Crossing
WU_METRO = ?
WU_WOODS = ?
Could these tracks be featured in the next wave of Mario Kart 8 DLC? This is complete speculation at the moment, but if it’s accurate, we could be seeing tracks like Neo Bowser City and Baby Park. People are also wondering if “Metro” could be implying “Metroid”, but I’m not too sure at the moment!
