Frozenbyte is searching for the right balance for the price.
Trine 2: Director's Cut, a Wii U eShop launch title, is going to be either $15 or $20, according to developer Frozenbyte's Sales & Marketing Manager Mikael Haveri.
The game is currently $15 on other platforms, but since the Wii U version features extra content, the company is considering the $20 price to account for the exclusive modes. However, Haveri said that they don't want to make the price so high that no one would buy it.

Also, the series will continue at some point (hopefully).
Shantae, the hard-to-find Game Boy Color classic, is coming to 3DS Virtual Console eventually, according to WayForward's Matt Bozon.
Currently, WayForward is waiting to hear back from the ESRB, and after that, it will be up to Nintendo to decide when exactly the game will come out.
The game was published by Capcom originally, and as such, the Capcom logos will be removed for the Virtual Console release. WayForward holds rights to the game.
