Indie developer Wind-up Giants is working on a new Unity-based project for the Wii U eShop titled “The Big Shuffle”.
The Big Shuffle is a horde game with support for up to four players. It takes place in a futuristic city where a rogue robot has turned the rest of his friendly machines against the humans.
Players take on the role of one of four classes as they attempt to protect the city in a special task force. The classes include The Striker, The Engineer, The Sniper, and The Captain.
Wind-up Giants began creating The Big Shuffle towards the end of July. Keep track of the studio’s Tumblr here for future updates.
Mewtwo will be available to Super Smash Bros. players on Wii U and 3DS next spring so long as they have both versions. Additionally, the character will be sold as paid DLC at some point in the future.
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai said earlier this week that there are no plans currently to release DLC other than Mewtwo. Nintendo is now echoing similar comments.
A representative told GameSpot:
“Mewtwo will be made available to purchase as add-on content in the future, and is also available as part of the Super Smash Bros. Club Nintendo promotion, which offers consumers different ways to obtain this content. There are no other plans regarding paid add-on content at this stage.”
Earlier this month, one GameStop location over on the West Coast held a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U preview event. That’s when the story of “Karissa The Destroyer” began. Karissa was thought to have taken down several top Smash Bros. players, but we quickly learned that the entire thing was likely staged.
We now have definitive proof that the event was nothing more than a stunt done by GameStop. I won’t spoil the “secret” of how the store managed to pull it off – just watch the video below!
Update: Four Smash Bros. themes are available as well. They can be had for $1.99 each.
Nintendo has updated the North American 3DS Theme Shop with a few new variations. It’s now possible to purchase the Primal Groudon/Kyogre and Onemuri Pikachu themes. Each is priced at $1.99.
